Bellum Britanni reparant Calgaco duce, cujus 30-32. oratio ad suos. 33, 34. Romanos quoque hortatur Agricola. 35-37. Atrox et cruentum proelium. 38. Penes Romanos victoria. Agricola Britanniam circumvehi praecipit. Domitianus, fronte laetus, pectore anxius, nuntium victoriae excipit. 40. Honores tamen Agricolae decerni jubet, condito odio, donec provincia decedat Agricola.
We may not, for the commandment of men, transgress the rule of piety, by doing anything which is not for God’s glory, and ordered according to his will; neither ought any of us to obey men, except “for the Lord’s sake,” 1 Pet. ii. 13, and “as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God,” Eph. vi. 6; which teacheth us the manner how we ought to obey men, namely, propter Christum et sicut Christus praecipit; for if we should know no more but the will of man for that which we do, then we should be the “servants of men,” not the servants of Christ.
It is far from my meaning to cool your affection to the laws, liberties, peace, and safety of the kingdom. I desire only to warm your hearts with the zeal of reformation, as that which, all along, you must carry on in the first place. “Aliae sunt leges Caesarum, aliae Christi: aliud Papinianus, aliud Paulus noster praecipit.”—Hieron. in Epitaphio Fabioloe
Asinius Gallus tells us that he was formerly a pugilist, in the following epigram. Qui caput ad laevam deicit, glossemata nobis Praecipit; os nullum, vel potius pugilis. Who ducked his head, to shun another's fist, Though he expound old saws, yet, well I wist, With pummelled nose and face, he's but a pugilist.
