Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit 'to them': for they watch in behalf of your souls, as they that shall give account; that they may do this with joy, and not with grief: for this 'were' unprofitable for you.
Obeie ye to youre souereyns, and be ye suget to hem; for þei perfitli waken, as to yeldinge resoun for youre soulis, þat þei do this thing with ioie, and not sorewinge; for this thing spedith not to you.
