Submit your selves in every thing
to th' Ordinance of Men,
Whether it be unto the King
as the Supream of them:

Or to inferiour Governours,
whom his commissions raise
For punishment of evil doers,
or for well doers praise.

For so's the sacred will of God,
that ye, by doing well,

May silence foolish tongues abroad, and all mens clamours quell.

As free with freedom from offence,
and not to cloak thereby
Rebellious Disobedience,
but serving the most high.

Have all men in esteem so good,
that no reproach may spring:
Fear God, and love the Brotherhood,
and honour much the King.
