THE XXXIX. ARTICLE: Of the Confession of the Faith.
We beleeue, that God will haue the world to be gouerned by lawes and policies, that there might be some restraint of the disordered desires of the world. And as he hath established kingdomes and common∣wealths, and all other kinds of principalities, whether they be hereditary or otherwise, and all that belongeth to the state of iustice, and will be knowne to be the author thereof: so hath he put the sword into Ma∣gistrates hands, to represse sinnes committed not onely against the second table of the commandements of God, but also against the first. Therefore in regard thereof, we must not onely endure and suffer superiors to gouerne, but also we must honour and obey them with all reuerence: holding them for his Lieutenants and officers, whom he hath appointed to exercise a lawfull and an holy charge.
