And whereas Paule a 1.1 commaundeth to obey the Magistrate for conscience sake: he doth not therein binde consciences to lawes politique: but this he meaneth one∣ly, that we must obey the Magistrate so far and so long as he commandeth things lawful and honest, for that God also com∣mandeth vs such obedience, & we can not with good conscience neglect any of his decrees. Therefore the Apostle doth not here make the conscience subiect to any lawes of men, but vnto the law of God, commanding vs to obey the lawes of men so farre forth as they do not repugne the holy lawes of God.
