A man professing obedience to a king as his alone sovereign, and obeying* 1.1 his lawes in the general, though he transgresse in some things openly, & great∣ly, is that Kings true subiect notwithstanding.

You deal vnfaithfully, & put the case wrong. The question is of a* 1.2 man professing himself in word the Kings loyall subiect, & his a∣lone, but in deed, & truth, the sworn slave of his professed enemy, & an apparant rebell against the Kings majesty. And whether such a one be a true subiect vnto the King or no: for such, and no bet∣ter, are wicked, & profane men, whatsoever in word they professe, even slaves, and vassals of the Divel, and rank rebels against the L. Iesus. Right now you would have Rome a true Church, & now you will have Iesuites the Kings true subjects: for such they professe themselves, as boldly, as falsly. And yet no Romish Preist, or Ie∣suit is more treacherous to the Kings person, & state, then is a pro∣phane vngoldly man professing Christianity, to the crown, & dig∣nity of Christ Iesus.
