Calvin and Luther have their differences on a great many subjects, yet seem to find similar solutions; the concept of passive obedience is one such occurrence. Passive obedience to the masses may seem similar to willful ignorance of a shoddy king’s ways, but it is also a sensible course of action in preserving one’s life, as well as one’s afterlife.

Again in the beginning of his speech he says “believe me for my honour, and have respect to mine honour”. (Shakespeare 870) By using parallel structure here, he places emphasis on his honor which was well known throughout his parts.
