 | | For the most arrant theeues, cruellest murderers that euer were, so long as they refraine from rebellion, as they are not many in number, so spreadeth their wickednesse and damnation vnto a few, they spoyle but a few, they shed the blood but of a few in comparison. |
 | | But rebels are the cause of infinite robberies, and murders of great multitudes, and of those also whom they should defend from the spoyle and violence of other: and as rebels are many in number, so doeth their wickednesse and damnation spread it selfe vnto many. |
 | | And as these are the two chiefe causes of rebellion: so are there specially two sortes of men in whom these vices doe raigne, by whom the deuill, the authour of all euill, doeth chiefly stirre vp all disobedience and rebellion. |
