sword of vengeance Therfore the King Prince presidēt euery other of inferior calling that beareth office as an executer of vengeance vppon such as do euill is gods minister To be short ye must neds be subiect to the higher powers not onlye for feare of punishnent but also for conscience sake for it is a christen mans duety to obey his superiours R. Then your iudgement is that the magistrat is to be obeyed not only for feare of punishment but muche more bycause that although the magistrate hath no power ouer mens consciences yet bycause he is Gods minister he cannot be resisted with a good conscience P. That is my iudgement And for that cause to shew the inwarde obedientnes of your mynd and your bounde duety you paye tribute to your magistrats Ma. 17.22 For they be Gods ministers seruing to take charge of the cōmō welth in punishing offenders and in praysing the giltlesse Therfore yeeld yee vnto euery mā that which is his due to whom ye owe tribute pay tribute to whome custome custome to whō ye owe awe pay awe and obedience to whom honor honor according as is due to al superiours R. O Paule if you wist howe many how great suits in law there are among vs about the yelding and paying of tributes and customes surely you woulde wonder For ther are a great sort which vnder pretence of christian libertie vpholde the there is no propriety of goods thereupon they snatch all that comes in their waye stirre vp strife are troublesome to the magistrates crye oute too haue all thinges in cōmon and maynetaine quarrelles and braules Againe there are another sorte which to confute these opinions behaue themselues so pinching and nigardly in all things that be it ryghte and wrong they rake other mens goods to them by sewing pleading at the law P. Both of them be euill But I vvill shevv you how it may be brought too passe that there shall be verie fewe sutes and actions among you namely if you order your lyues in such wyse as no man may iustlye demaunde aughte at your handes sauing that one thing vvhich we ovve one vnto another by a certeine euerlasting bonde throughe the law of charity Therefore ovve no man anye thing sauing that you loue one another For beleeue me the cause why these quarrells and braules ryse among you is for that charitye and brotherlye loue are become faynte and colde But I vvill gyue you this glance by the vvay Ex. 20. 4. De. 5.18 Le. 19.18 that loue is the content of the lavv For he that loueth another hath fulfilled the lavve For these commaundementes thou shalt not commit adultry Ma 22.36 thou shalt not kill thou shalte not steale thou shalt not beare fals witnes thou shalt not couet and whatsoeuer commaundement els is is comprehended breefly in this saying thou shalt loue thy neighbour as thy self For loue hurteth not a mans neighbour To be shorte either I am vtterly deceiued or els charity is the fulfilling of the lavv R. Good God I wote not by what euill destinye it falleth out that now since we imbraced Christes doctrine brotherly loue is lesse lyuely among vs than it was before For before when we were as good as ouerwhelmed with the darknesse of ignorance walked in the miste of superstition and false worshipping of God there seemed to be suche concorde such loue and such following of vertue that wicked lusts could not reigne so as we see they do now P. My brother the preaching of the Gospell is not to be blamed for it that you be becomme worse since the receiuing of it if at least wise ye be becōme worse as you say ye be but rather you haue to thanke Gods lyght that you do novve better discerne that former lyfe of yours For counterfet charitie deserueth not the name of charitie and colored pretence of honestie is nother praysed nor allovved of God Therfore novv that you be inlightened vvith the lyght of the Gospell gyue your selues to true charitie and to true honesty yea and that vvith consideration of the needefulnesse thereof in asmuch as it is novv hygh time to awake from sleepe For novv that the coeternall and coessentiall sonne of God being made man is appeared to the woorlde saluation is neerer to vs than when vve vveened all things to be in safety Also we haue proceeded further in godlinesse as novve than vve had doone at the beginning when vve first beleued the gospell The night of ignorāce is gone the day of heuēly light is come Therfore let vs put on the armour of light that being clothed with christē vertues we may walke honestly as it becōmeth folk to go a day times and let vs behaue our selues as it becōeth the godly Lu. 21. 24 Let vs not giue our selues to feasting drūkēnes let vs not welter in sloughfulnesse let vs not cocker our selues in wantōnesse let vs not gyue occasion of quarreling and brauling let vs not giue heed to spiting hart burning or enuy but let vs chefly strein all the sinewes of our wittes to the putting on of our lord Iesus Christ and let therebe such an earnest indeuer of holinesse in vs so great charity that such as se vs may say they haue sene the true members of Christe Therefore in any wise be not carefulll for the fleshe too fulfyll the lustes thereof but rather seeke for the peace and ioye of the spirite For by that meanes you shall through Gods inspiration not only obey your magistrats but also mainteine mutuall loue among your selues R. If the professers of the Gospell would frame their maners after this order their exāple wold allure very many to imbrace the heauenly truth But too speake plainely as the matter requyreth our licentious liuing scareth the minds of the ignorant from the receiuing of the Gospell Againe what shall I tell you of the contentions and controuersies that are among vs euen vnto rayling and falling out about indifferent ceremoniall things The keeping whereof can as I beleue make men neither better in them selues nor more acceptable to God As soone as this church of ours at Rome was growen together there stept vp certein men eyther discended of the Iewes or which had bin conuersant in Iewry or whiche I rather beleeue had beene trayned vp by the Doctors of Ierusalem These I say did so earnestly and vehemently vrge the Ceremonies of Moyses Lawe the choyce of meates the keeping of feasts and holydays and such other like things that they troubled and turmoyled all things with their zeale My countreymen on the other side leaning as it were of set purpose to the contrarie part esteeme all meane things at nought and which worse is do disdeine the teachers and professors of them and skorne them with vnseemely mockages P. Eyther of them bothe do offende Chap. 14 by sticking too stifly to partaking peraduenture euen agaynst their ovvne consciences But as for you
