¶2; The .xiij. Chapter. 1 Of Obedience to the rulers, who beare not the sworde in vayne. 8 Charitie must measure all our doynges. 11 An exhortation to good lyfe. A   


1   Let euery soule be subiect vnto the hyer powers: For note there is no power but of god. The powers that be, are ordeyned of God.


2   Whosoeuer therfore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinaunce of God: And they that resist, shall receaue to th&ebar; selues dampnation.


3   For rulers are not fearefull to good workes, but to the euyll. Wylt thou not feare the power? Do well, and thou shalt haue prayse of the same. B   


4   For he is the minister of God for thy wealth. But yf thou do euyll, feare: For he beareth not the sworde in vayne, for he is the minister of God, reuenger of wrath on hym that doth euyll.


5   Wherfore, ye must needes be subiect, not only for feare of punishment: but also because of note conscience.


6   And for this cause pay ye tribute. For they are Gods ministers, seruyng for the same purpose. &lhand;


7   Geue to euery man therfore his dutie, note tribute to whom tribute, custome to whom custome, feare to whom feare, honour to whom honour [belongeth.] &lhand;


8   Owe nothyng to no man, but to loue one another: (For he that loueth another, hath fulfylled the lawe.

-- --


9   For this: note Thou shalt not commit adultrie, thou shalt not kyll, thou shalt not steale, thou shalt not beare false witnesse, thou shalt not lust: and yf there be any other commaundement, it is comprehended in this saying: Namelye, note Thou shalt loue thy neighbour as thy selfe.


10   Charitie worketh no yll to his neyghbour, therfore the fulfyllyng of the lawe is charitie.) &lhand;


11   &rhand; And chiefely consideryng the season, howe that it is tyme that we shoulde nowe awake out of slepe: For nowe is our saluation note nearer, then when we beleued.


12   The nyght is passed, the day is come nye. Let vs therfore caste away the deedes of darknesse, ∧ let vs put on the armour of lyght.


13   Let vs walke honestly as in the day, note not in riotyng ∧ dronkennesse, neither in chaumberyng ∧ wantonnesse, neither in strife and enuying.


14   But put ye on þe; Lorde Iesus Christe. And make not prouision for the fleshe, to the lustes [therof.]
