Paragraph 24.3
Of the Second London Baptist Confession of Faith
Civil Magistrates being set up by God, for the ends aforesaid, subjection in all lawful things commanded by them, ought to be yielded by us in the Lord, not only for Wrath, but for Conscience-sake; and we ought to make Supplications and Prayers for Kings, and all that are in Authority,1 that under them we may live a quiet and peaceable Life, in all godliness and honesty.2
The Westminster Confession of Faith (1646)
23.4
It is the duty of People to pray for Magistrates,1 to honor their Persons,2 to pay them Tribute and other Dues,3 to obey their lawful Commands, and to be subject to their Authority, for conscience sake.4 Infidelity, or difference in Religion does not make void the Magistrates just and legal Authority, nor free the People from their due obedience to him:5 from which, Ecclesiastical persons are not exempted;6 much less has the Pope any Power and Jurisdiction over them, in their Dominions, or over any of their People; and, least of all, to deprive them of their Dominions, or lives, if he shall judge them to be Heretics, or upon any other pretense whatsoever.7
