bicause of conscience And for this cause ye paye tributes for they be goddes ministers seruinge for the same purpose Gyue therfore to all men that is due tribute to whom tribute is due custome to whō custome is due feare to whom feare is due and honour to whō honour is due And saint Peter sayth Obeye vnto all sortes of gouernours for goddes sake i. Peul ii whether it be vnto the kyng as vnto the chiefe heade or vnto rulers as vnto them that be sent of him to punyshe euyll doers to cherishe them that do well And shortly after it foloweth Feare god honour the king And there be many exaumples in scripture of the great vengeaunce of god that hathe fallen vppon rulers and suche as haue bene disobedient vnto theyr princes But one principall exaumple to be noted is of the rebellion whyche Chore Dathan and Abiron made againste their gouernous Num. xvi Moyses and Aaron For punyshement of whiche rebels god not only caused the earthe to open and to swalowe them downe and a great numbre of other people with them with theyr houses and all theyr substance but caused also the fyer to descende from heauen and to burne vp CCl. capitaines whiche conspired with them in the sayde rebellion Moreouer all christen men be bounde by this commaundement to exhibite due honour and reuerence vnto the spirituall fathers parentes whych haue cure and charge of theyr soules as vnto those who be appoynted by god to minister his sacramentes vnto the people to feede them with his worde and by the same to conducte and to leade theym the strayght way to the father in heauen euerlastynge And our sauiour Christe in the gospell maketh mencion as well of the obedience as of the corporal sustenance whyche all christen people do owe vnto theyr spirituall fathers Of the obedience he sayth That who soo euer receyueth you Math. x. receyueth me And in an other place he sayth He that heareth you heareth me Luc. vii and he that dispiseth you dispiseth me And saynte Paule sayeth Obey your prelates and gyue place vnto them Heb. xiii for they haue muche charge and muche care for your soules as they whyche muste giue an accompte therfore that they may do it with ioye and not with griefe that is to saye that they may gladly and with muche comfort do theyr cure and charge whan they do perceyue that the people be obedient to theyr teachynge Lyke as contrarye wyse although they be bounde to do it yet the people gyue theym lytle comforte to doo it whan they fynde them disobedient and repugnant And for the sustenance of theyr lyuynge whiche is comprised in this word Honour Luc x. as before is declared Christe sayeth in the gospell The workeman is worthy his wages Corin. ix And saynt Paule sayeth who goeth on warfare vppon his owne stipende And who planteth the vine and eateth no parte of the fruite And who fedeth the flocke and eateth no parte of the mylke And after foloweth Euen so hathe the lorde ordeyned that they whiche preache the gospell 1. Tim. vi shulde lyue of the gospell And therfore in an other place it is written Priestes that rule well be worthye of double honour specially they that labour in the ministration of the worde of god and his doctrine In whiche place the apostle meaneth by Double honour not onely the reuerence whiche is due vnto the spirituall fathers as is aforesayde but also sufficiencye of all thynges necessary and requisite as wel for theyr sustenance and findyng as for the quiete and commodiouse exercisynge and executynge of theyr sayd office Fynally in this commandement is conteyned the honour and obedience of the seruaunt vnto his mayster that is to loue his mayster to be reuerente and lowly to him in all his wordes and gesture to suffre and forbeare hym to be redy with a good wyl without murmuration or grudging to obey all his laufull and reasonable commandementes to feare hym and to be loth to displease hym to be faythful and true vnto hym And to his power to procure doo that whiche is for his maysters honestie and profyte And that as well in his maysters absence and out of his syght as whan he is present and loketh vpon him accordynge to the wordes of saynte Paule where he saith Ephe. vi Seruantes be you obedient vnto your maisters with feare and trembling with simple and playne hartes as vnto Christe not seruyng onely in theyr syghte as pleasers of men but as the seruantes of Christe doynge the wyll of god from the harte and with good wyll thynkyng that ye serue god and not men And be you sure that of all your good seruice you shall receyue rewarde of god Tit. ii And agayn to Titus he writeth thus exhorte the seruantes to be obedient vnto theyr maisters to please them well in all thynges not to be patterers and praters against them nor pickers nor priuy cōueiours of theyr maisters goodes But to shewe all truth and faythfulnes i. Petri. ii Saynte Peter also byddeth seruantes to obey theyr maisters with all feare not onely yf they be good and gentile but also thoughe they be frowarde And of the other syde the offyce and duetie of maysters to theyr seruantes is to prouide sufficiently for them of all thynges necessarye to se them instructe in the knowlege of the commandementes of god and that they obserue the same and not be ouer rigorouse vnto them but with discretion to correcte them whan they do amisse and to commende and cherishe them whan they do well accordyng to the saying of saynt Paule Col iiii You that be maysters do vnto your seruantes that is ryght and reason knowynge that your selues haue also a mayster in heauen Ephe. vi And in an other place he sayeth Be not rigorous vnto your seruātes for you haue a master in heauen that regardeth al persons indifferently And the wyse man sayth Ec. xxxiii Meate correctiō worke is due vnto seruantes Set thy seruante vnto labour that he be not ydle for idlenes bringeth moche euyl set him to worke for that belongeth to him if he be not obedient correcte him And in this commandement is also implied that chyldren and yonge folkes shuld gyue due honour and reuerence to olde men and to all suche as be theyr maysters and tutours to brynge them vp in lernyng and vertu whiche be in this behalfe as fathers vnto them and so as fathers must be honoured and obeyed The exposition of the .vi. commandement of god Thou shalt do no murther IN this commaundement is forbidden not onely bodely killing and all maner of violent layinge of handes vpon any man as strikyng cuttyng woundynge and all maner of bodyly hurtyng by acte or deede but also all malice anger hate enuye disdaine and al other euyll affections of the harte also al sclander backbityng scoldyng bannyng raylynge scornyng or mockynge and

lord conceyued great indignatiō against Hely the chiefe prieste i Reg ii bycause he dyd not duely correcte his two sonnes Ophni and Phinees i Reg. ●iii whan he knewe that they dyd greuously offende god and how in reuenging of theyr fathers negligence and remissenes in correcting of his children almighty god toke from Hely and all his issue and householde for euer the office of the high priesthode how his two sonnes Ophni and Phinees were slayne bothe vppon a day and Hely theyr father brake his necke This example of Hely is necessary for fathers to imprynt in theyr hartes that they may se theyr children well taught and corrected lest they runne into the great indignation of almighty god as Hely dyd and not onely in this world haue confusion but also in the worlde to come haue damnation for the mysorder of theyr children throughe their defaute and they muste not thynke that it is inough to speake somewhat to them whan they do amisse for so dyd Hely to his sonnes and yet our lord was not pleased bicause he dyd not moche more sharply correcte them and se them refourmed but whan wordes wyll not serue the fathers and mothers must put to sharper correction and by such discipline saue theyr soules orels they shall aunswere to god for them And truly they greatly deserue the indignatiō of god that whan they haue receyued of hym chyldren do not bringe them vp to his seruice but without regarde what cōmeth of them suffer them to runne into the seruice of the deuyl Wherfore al fathers ought diligently to consider and remembre how moche and how greuously they offende god and of how many euils they be the cause which either bring vp their children in wantonnes and idelnes and do not put them forthe be tyme to some facultie exercise or labour wherby they may after gette theyr lyuyng or occupie theyr lyfe to the profite and commoditie of the common weale or elles do suffer their chyldren in youth to be corruptid for lacke of good teaching and good bringing vp in the true knowlege of god and of his wyl and commandementes or committe in word or dede such thinges in the presence of their children wherof the yonge tendre hartes of the said children whiche like a smal twygge be inclinable euery way and by fraylenes of youth be inclyned to euyl do take so euyl example and corruption of vices and worldely affections that harde it wyll be for them after to eschue the same This cōmandement also conteineth the honour and obedience which subiectes owe vnto their princes And also the offyce of prynces towardes theyr subiectes For scripture taketh prynces to be as it were fathers 〈◊〉 xlix nurses to their subiectes And by scripture it appereth that it apperteyneth vnto the office of princes to se that the righte religion true doctrine of Christ be mainteined and taught that their subiectes be wel ruled gouerned by good iust lawes to prouide and care that the people common weale maye encreace and to defende them frome oppression and inuasion as well within the realme as without their subiectes aiding them thervnto to se that iustice be ministred vnto them indifferently to here by themselues or by their mynisters beningly al their complaintes and to shew toward them although they offende fatherly pitie And finally so to correct them that be euil that they had yet rather saue them than lose them yf it were not for respect of iustice maintenance of peace and good ordre in the cōmon weale And therfore al theyr subiectes must again on their partes and be boūde by this cōmandement not onely to honour obey their said princes accordyng as subiectes be bound to do to owe theyr truth fidelitie vnto them as vnto their naturall lordes but they must also loue them as childrē do loue their fathers yea they must more tendre the suretie of their princes person and his estate than their owne or any others Euen like as the health of the head is more to be tendred thā the health of any other membre And by this commandement also subiectes be bound not to withdrawe their said fealtie trouth loue and obedience towardes their prince for any cause what so euer it be ne for any cause they maye conspire against his person ne do any thing towardes the hinderance or hurt therof nor of his estate And furthermore by this commandement they be bounde to obey also all the lawes proclamations preceptes and cōmandementes made by their princes and gouernours except they be against the commandementes of god And lykewyse they be bounde to obey all suche as be in authoritie vnder their prince as farre as he wyll haue them obeyed They must also gyue vnto their prince aide helpe and assistaunce whan so euer he shall requyre the same either for suretie preseruation or maintenāce of his person and estate or of the realme or of the defence of any of the same against all persons And whā so euer subiectes be called by their prince vnto pryuy counsayle or vnto the parliament where is the generall counsayle of this realme than they be bounde to giue vnto theyr prynce as theyr learnynge wysedome or experyence can serue them the moste faythefull counsayle they can and suche as may be to the honour of god to the honour and suertie of his regall person and state and to the generall wealthe of this hole realme And further if any subiecte shall knowe of any thynge whiche is or may be to the noyaunce or damage of his princis person or estate he is bounde by this commandement to disclose the same with al spede to the prynce him selfe or to some of his coūsayle For it is the very lawe of nature that euery membre shal imploy him selfe to preserue defende the heade And surely wisedome and polycie wyll the same for of conspiracy and treason commeth no goodnesse but infinite hurte damage and perill to the common weale And that all subiectes do owe vnto theyr princes and gouernours suche honour and obedience as is aforesayde it appereth euidently in sundry places of scripture but specially in the epistles of saint Paul Rom. xiii and saint Peter For saint Paul saythe in this maner Euery man must be obedient vnto the hyghe powers for the powers be of god And therfore who so euer resisteth the powers resysteth the ordynaunce of god And they that resyst the ordynaunce of god shall get to them selues damnation For rulers are not feareful to them that be good but to them that do euil Wilt not thou feare the power Do well and thou shalte haue prayse of the same for he is the minister of god for thy welth But yf thou do euyll then feare for he beareth not the sworde without cause For he is the minister of god to punishe the euyll doer therfore you muste obey not onely for the feare of punysshement but also
