For never was any incarnate Devil more incomparably impious than those Emperours of Rome, Tiberius and Nero; whom yet our Saviour and S. Paul commanded their Followers to obey, and obey'd Themselves. For Obedience to Magistrates being of Divine right, strongly founded upon the Will and the Word of God, and even a part of our Obedience to God Himself, (whilst it is paid to that Authority which God has commanded us to pay an Obedience to,) cannot possibly be due to the men, as men, or to the Good, as they are Good; but to the Magistrates or Masters reduplicativè, as they are such: 'Tis due to the Governours as they are Governours, and as the Ordinance of God; let their Practices and Opinions be what they will. |
