And as for the apparell, though we haue ben long borne in hande, and yet are, that it is for or∣der and decencie commaunded, yet we knowe and haue proued that there is neither order nor com∣〈1 line〉〈1 line〉ynesse, nor obedience in vsyng it. There is no order in it but confusion, no comlynesse, but deformi∣tie: no obedience, but disobedience both against God and the Prince.
TO all this also I haue answered before, I meane to all the rea∣sons here alleadged, as for bare wordes, they preuayle with none, but suche as haue respecte to the persons, & not to the matter. And therfore I omit these wordes of pleasure, which you vse, when you saye, that in this apparell there is no order but confusion, no comelynesse, but de∣formitie: no obedience but disobedience, both against God and the Prince.
It is not euery priuate mannes parte to define what is order and comlynesse in externall matters being indifferente, but is proper to* 1.1 them only, to whom God hath committed the gouernmente of hys church, whose orders and lawes (not beeing against the woorde of God) whosoeuer doth disobey, disobeyeth both God and the Prince: as you do in disobeying the Princes lawes in these matters.
