And if he bee a christian and godlie magi∣strate wee beleeue that it chieflie belonges vn∣to him, that besides the regard of the publike and politick good and profite, of the publike and politick peace and honestie, he should also take the peculiar care of christian religion: sith the Lord hath made him the keeper of both the tables,
and commaundeth him, that as a prince he alwaies keep the law of God in his hands: that he may punish aswell idolaters and blasphemors, false Prophets and seducers, as murtherers and adulterers: and the same is aboundantly confirmed by examples of god∣lie kings in Israell, and christian princes, Con∣stantine, Valentinian, Theodosius, Iustinian & others: who, not onely as priuate men, but al∣so as kings serued the Lord, according to his commaundement: euen as concerning their duetie and office,
Saint Augustine most lear∣nedly noted out of the second Psalme, and de∣clared it to Boniface.
