gBeneficium qui dedit, taceat: narret qui accepit. Let him that gives a benefit, be silent: let him speak of it, that hath received it. There is that law of difference (saith that Philosopher) betwixt the doer of a good turn, and the receiver of it. Alter statim oblivisci debet. dati, alter accepti nunquam. The one ought quickly to forget what he hath ⟨p. 208⟩given: the other ought never to forget what he hath received. We are the receivers, and must not forget. God gave the Law to Israel, and the Custom of the Saints observed it. hWhat we have heard and known, and our Fathers have told us: we will not hide from our children, showing to the generations to come, the praises of the Lord.
