[107] "At vero in praefectorum obedientia unum semper excipiendum ne ab ejus obedientia nos deducat, cujus decretis regum omnium jussa cedere par est.... Adversus ipsum si quid imperent nullo sit nec loco nec numero, sed illa potius sententia locum habeat, obediendum Deo magis quam hominibus." [108] This seems to be the opinion of Dr Laing (Knox's Works, vi. 121, n.) Indeed one can hardly read chapter xviii. without having a suspicion induced that Knox may have proved too strong for them in regard to some of what they termed the more harsh expressions in the treatise, as well as in regard to the particular chapter in question.

[111] Dunlop's Confessions, ii. 17, 18; Laing's Knox, ii. 96. A similar protestation is made in the Preface to the First Book of Discipline (Dunlop's Confessions, ii. 518; Laing's Knox, ii. 184). [112] The sources from which this chapter was taken can still be pretty clearly traced. I place in parallel columns its statements and those of the two Confessions from which it was probably taken:-- "We confesse and acknawledge "Je confesse qu'il y a un seul ane only God, to whom only we Dieu auquel il nous faut tenir, must cleave, whom onelie we must pour le servir, adorer, et y avoir serve, whom onelie we must worship, notre fiance et refuge."--Confession and in whom onelie we must subscribed by students put our trust. in Academy in Geneva. "Who is eternall, infinit, "I beleve and confesse my unmeasurable, incomprehensible, Lorde God eternal, infinite, omnipotent, invisible: ane in unmeasurable, incomprehensible, substance, and zit distinct in and invisible, one in substance, thre personnis, the Father, the and three in persone, Father, Sone, and the Holie Gost."--Old Sonne, and Holy Ghoste."--Confession Scottish Confession, in Dunlop's of English Congregation Confessions, ii. 21, 22. at Geneva, in Laing's Knox, iv. 169; Dunlop's Confessions, ii. 3. [113] This also comes from a Genevan source:-- "We condemne the damnable "Ideirco detestor omnes haereses and pestilent heresies of Arius, huic principio contrarias Marcion, Eutyches, Nestorius, puta Marcionis, Manetis, Nestorii, and sik uthers."--Old Scottish Eutychetis, et similium."--Genevan Confession, as above, ii. 31.
