Give to every man therefore his duty, tribute, ⟨image 18⟩to whom tribute belongeth, Custom, to whom custom is due: fear, to whom fear belongeth: honour, to whom honour pertaineth.
Giue to euery man therfore his duety, tribute, ⟨image 18⟩to whom tribute belongeth, Custome, to whom custome is due: feare, to whom feare belongeth: honour, to whom honour pertayneth.
When S. Paul hath sufficiently told us our duties to the higher power, he descendeth from that particularity, and one sort of persons to a generality, how we should do our duties to all manner of persons. First generally he saith, we should give every man his due. Then numbereth he certain kinds and particulars of duties. Tribute we owe to kings and Magistrates, that must we faithfully pay, or else the with holders commit theft, & therefore Christ payed tribute.
