THose that according to their countrie lawes do defend their countries right, are lawfull Magistrates, which wee not refuse, nor yet reiects them, as you spitefully reproch vs. We resist the tyrant, according to the iudgement of any, yet doe we not transgresse the ordinances of God: neyther do we reiect the admonition of S. Paule. But the word of God teacheth that lawfull magistrates are placed by him to keepe their people in peace and quietnesse and to chasti•• the wicked: When now they beginne with ty∣rannous suggestions to opp••se their subiects, with iust cause may they bee deposed, as breakers of these contractes, and their subiectes are not baunde to shew them any more obedience. Because nowe this Spaniarde is like vnto the monster in euerie degrée: we ••e flie his bl•• thirstie tirranny.
