And are none other to bee honored reuerenced obeyed by this comaūdement but only our natural parentes S. Yes all suche as perfourme the dutie office of true parentes toward vs all suche as haue any manier of cure or charge of vs as our kinsfolke teachers tutours ouerseers And specyally our gouerners rulers and magistrates with the ministers of the churche also whiche haue cure of our soules our maister also mystres all such as do vs any good through teaching instructing admonishīg exhorting defendyng or maintenyng of vs or thorowe punishyng correcting vs for our fautes euil doinges breking taming our naturall frowardnes stubbernes proud stomakes obstinatnes intendyng nothyng but to rule gouerne bring vs vp to the glory of god the welth profite of our soules All such are we bound to obey to submit our selfes hartily willingly vnto theyr instruccions admoniciōs correccion c. taking all such thinges as they do vnto vs in good worthe and withal thankfulnes M.
