Chap. 2. a True obedience rendreth to God due honor also to man as his office requireth what great daunger it is not to put differeÌ„ce betwene obedience and disobedience what plags come for disobedieÌ„ce Gen. 3.

The worlde plaged in Nohas dayes for disobedieÌ„ce The cause of all disobedience is not to

malitious or ignorante whom verie nature will not compel to confesse it if he had no further knowledge Nether had these men for all their great a doo loÌ„ge consultacion hie learninge and wisdome desierous also to take occasion agaynst the Apostels anie thinge to saye for the coÌ„trary But as Gods enemies are accustomed when their mouthes are stopt either with raylinges or threatnings to expresse their rage so did they with Peter Iohn dimitting them at the last with bitter wordes and menaces and they departed notwithstandinge from the Concile by the means of this answere conquerours CHAP. V. Â¶ To obeye man in anie thinge agaynst God is Vnlawfull ind playne disobedience NOw for as muche as we are assured of the trueth aÌ„d certantie of their answere wherof none can iustlie doute let vs somewhat further consider what thinges are priÌ„cipallie here in conteyned First we maye hereof iustlie conclude that to obeye man in anie thinge contrary to God or his precepts thoghe he be in hiest auctoritie or neuer so orderly called there vnto as these men wherof Luke speaketh were is no obedience at all but disobedience Secondlie that it is not a sufficient discharge for vs before God wheÌ„ we denye to accoÌ„plyshe their vnlawful demaÌ„des and threatnings except we do the coÌ„trarie euery man in his vocation and office as occasion is offred and as his power will serue Whiche thiÌ„ges playnlie vnderstaÌ„de as they shal geue a clere light in this controuersie so do I not doute by this present answere and facte of Peter and Iohn to proue moste manifestlie that althoghe we were destitute of other examples yet this might appeare sufficient As touchinge the firste that there is no obedience agaynst God which is not playne disobedience the Apostles say Iudge you whither it be right or iust in Godds sight to obeye you rather theÌ„ God which is as muche as thei would saye It is not iuste nor lawful TheÌ„ if it be not lawful and iust in Goddes sight who iudgeth things truelie aÌ„d as thei be in dede it must nedes folowe that all maner of obedieÌ„ce agaynst God aÌ„d his worde is playne disobedieÌ„ce and the workers therof likewise condemned as rebells Why Bycause it is vniust and vnlawfull before God And all true obedience is lawful which must not be measured by the will of maÌ„ but by the iuste Lawes and ordinances of the liuinge Lorde So that after God hathe once pronounced anie thinge that he would haue done either in his Lawe or otherwise there is no man that may or can dispence therwith seeme it of neuer so litle importance in the iudgement of men He that commandeth the contrarie is a rebell and he that obeyeth likewise Neither dothe this appertayne to the Apostles and ministers onlie in their office but is a generall argument for all sortes estates and degrees of men for as muche as God hathe like auctoritie of all and all owe vnto him first and principall obedience and secondly vnto men for him and in him onlie except they wil be enimies to God and deny him to be their Lorde For so muche it is in effecte when we preferre men to God obedience to man before the obedience to God It is not the auctoritie of the Prince or the feare of his punishmeÌ„t that caÌ„ excuse in his presence who coÌ„maÌ„deth his people generalie high and lowe riche and poore man aÌ„d womaÌ„ to heare his voyce and to obserue his statutes Nether to declyne vpon the right hand nor vpon the lefte nether to adde anie thinge therto or to take anie thinge from it but to do that onlie whiche the liuinge Lorde commaÌ„deth And if we be the shepe of the Lordes foulde it is not sufficieÌ„t for vs to heare the voyce of our pastor aÌ„d to folowe him except we also deny to heare muche more to folowe anie other that is which calleth not with the voyce of the true pastor And as there ought to be no creature of like auctoritie amongest vs as our soueraygne Lorde and God whose creatures we be and the workemanship of his owne haÌ„des euen so there is none like to him in dignitie or may be coÌ„pared to him in power none like to him in riches or so able to rewarde his subiectes beinge Lorde of heaueÌ„ and earthe disposer of all things present and to come distributer not onlie of all corporall and earthlie blessings to those that feare and serue him but also powreth vpon them all spirituall and heauenlie graces in great aboundance Moreouer as by his auctoritie power dignitie riches and liberalitie he maye of right demande of vs obedience so must we persuade our selues in not reÌ„dring the same to him willinglie that none caÌ„ deliuer vs from his horrible punishementes and destruction whiche he threatneth vpon all such as wilfully trangresse his holie preceptes aÌ„d declyne from his Lawes Nether wil he regarde by what means or by whose coÌ„mandement we transgresse his lawes For that can be no excuse for vs thoghe he be Kinge Quene or Emperour that commandeth or threatneth vs. For what is kinge Quene or Emperour compared to God Is the punishement of earthe ashes of vile man whose breath is in his nostrilles more to be feared then the plages of God who hath power both of body and soule to destroye theÌ„ euerlastingly Was it any earthly power that broght the waters vpon the vniuersall worlde and drowned all mankinde for synne viii persons excepted Did man destroye Sodome and Gomorrhe with fier and brymstone Came the plages of Egypt the drowninge of Pharao the ouertrow of the Cananites the subuersion of Ierusalem by the power of man If these be the workes of man and not of God feare man and not God but if there be none of these euells which cometh vpon anie Citie or contrie wherof the Lorde is not the worker beware that the feare of mans punishment cause thee not to fall in to the handes of this mightie reueÌ„ger whiche is an horrible thinge as the Apostle writeth Princes therfore and all powers vpon thee arth are not to be compared vnto God whose Lieutenants onlie they shuld be and are no longer then he wil in whose handes their hartes are to moue and turne at his pleasure And for that cause it is their duetie to seke all means possible wherbie the glorie of God might be aduanced by whom they are them selues so highlie exalted aboue their brethern and in no cause to minister occasion of rebellion agaynst his mightie Maiestie but rather to be examples to others ouer whom they are constitute of all Godlie liffe and lawfull obedience In consideration wherof God him selfe appoyntiÌ„g his people to haue a kinge which when they shulde come in to the lande of promesse for that was the first promotion that God ordeyned amongest his people which yet came not to suche pride to desire an Emperour did with great circumspection as well appoynt
