Wherefore you that be in authoritie, if you loue the peace and pro∣speritie* 1.1 of the Church of Christ, if you desire the good successe of the Gospell if you will preserue the state of this Realme, if you thinke it necessary to haue good magistrates, to haue good lawes and orders in a common wealth, if you esteeme learning, and seeke to preferre it, if you hate anarchian, confusion, Anabaptisme, if you allowe of your owne condition▪ and like of a kingdome better than of a popular state: Then prouide betime some speedy remedy, for these and suche like kind of men: and if the religion you haue established be good, if the orders and lawes you haue made be conuenient, let them not be written against, spoken against, nay openly contemned and broken, withoute sharpe and seuere punishment: suffer not suche as execute them to be contemned, hated, discouraged, and oftentimes frumped* 1.2 by some superiours. Either let your lawes be mainteined as lawes,
