Render therefore] God commandeth to give every man his due; tribute to whom tribute, custome to whom custome is due, Romans 13:7. They are deceived who think that stealing of Customes due to Princes, is no sinne, because a penall Statute lyeth thereon, if they be taken, to forfeit all: for in the Leviticall Law, it was penall to restore fourefold for him that was found or convicted of stealing ox or sheep, &c. Exod. 22. 1, &c. yet such stealing was no lesse theft then before God then now; the morall law saying, Thou shalt not steal.
