FArther you say, they may ioyne [ 22] with any congregatiō or Church and liue vnder the obedience of any Maiestr••te. It is true, we are obedi∣ent vnto all Maiestrates where wee dwell, for ••he peaces cause, and ob∣serue their politick ordinances, which are to a good protectiō of their sub∣iectes, ••••d the land, but we consent not vnto any thing which is agaynst God or hys commaundements: also we accomp•• none vngodly but such a•• obsti••atly blaspheme the Lord & hys ordi••••unces, and despise his most holy seruice of loue, although they be ignoraunt of the waye vnto lyfe, For we confesse that there is no man

righteousnes vntill the Lord deliuer hym from his vnrighteousnesse, and through hys Christ make hym righ∣teous: and then may he say that the Lord is hys righteousnes.
