¶ The .xiii. Cha. ✚
Let every soul submit him self unto §Athe authority of the higher powers. For there is no power but of God. The powers that be / are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth power / resisteth the ordinance of God. And they that resist / shall receive to them self damnation. For rulers are not to be feared for good works / but for evil Wilt thou be with out fear of the power? Do well then: and so shalt thou be praised of the same. For he is the minister of God / for thy wealth. But & if thou do evil / then fear: for he beareth not a sword for nought: but §Bis the minister of God / to take vengeance on them that do evil. Wherefore ye must needs obey / not for fear of vengeance only: but also because of *conscience. And even for this cause pay ye tribute. For they are god ministers / serving for the same purpose. ⊢
