Pet. ii. ii. to ver. 18. i . . Early beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; having your conversation honest amongst the Gentiles : that whereas they speak against you as evil-doers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation. Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lords sake : whether it be to the King, as supreme ; or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him, for the punisment of evil-do&rs, and for the praise of them that do well. For so is the will of God, that with well-doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men : As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of malicioulness, but as the fervants of God. Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the King. A The Gospel. St. Matth. xxii. 16. to ver. 23.
