And Saint Peter exhorteth us unto the same, 1 Pet. 4. 12, 13, 14, 15, 16. Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial, which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you, but rejoice in as much as ye are partakers of Christs sufferings. If ye be reproached for the Name of Christ happy are ye. But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as ⟨p. 16⟩an evil doer, or as a busy body in other mens matters. Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed.

God therefore doth always require thy obedience unto thy Prince: If his commands be lawful, then thou must obey him actively, by executing his will; if unlawful, then thou must obey him passively, by submitting thy self unto his punishment. So that there can be no cause or colour for thy disobedience, no ground for thy resistance, unless thou wilt obey neither God nor man.
