15For so is the will of God, that with well doing yee may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men. 16As free, and not vsing your libertie for a cloake of maliciousnesse, but as the seruants of God. 17Honour all men. Loue the brotherhood. Feare God. Honour the King. 18Seruants, be subiect to your masters with al feare, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward. 19For this is thanke-worthie, if a man for conscience toward God endure griefe, suffering wrongfully.
