Section III: On Obedience and Disobedience
1.
ABOVE I treated of Obedience insofar as it is the matter of the Vow; now insofar as it is a Virtue common to all subjects I shall discuss it. Its excellence Sacred Scripture everywhere describes, and indeed since men's happiness consists in this, that they be subject to God, which is wrought by this virtue, not undeservedly should it be proclaimed by the mouth of all.
SUPRA egi de Obedientia, quatenus materia est Voti, nunc quatenus est Virtus omnibus subditis communis, eam discutiam. Huius excellentiam passim describit Sacra Scriptura, et revera cum hominum faelicitas in eo stet, ut Deo subiiciantur, quod hac virtute praestatur, non immerito omnium ore debeat circumferri.
