For the first daily experience showeth, that it maketh much for the maintaining of love, to call men by their proper names or surnames. And this was a sign of special favour that God called Moses by his proper name. Yet more convenient it is to salute our betters by names of honour or office. Thus the disciples call our Saviour Christ Rabbi: and it was the usual manner among the Jews, to call their betters Adon, that is, Lord, or Sir.

The forms of salutations are to be after the order practised in Scripture. An Angel saluted Gideon thus:¹ The Lord be with thee thou valiant man. And Boaz came to Bethlehem, and said to the reapers, The Lord be with you: and they answered, The Lord bless thee. And the Angel saluted Mary, Hail, freely beloved, the Lord is with thee, &c. Christ coming among his disciples, said, Peace be among you: and he taught them coming to any house to say, Peace be to this house.
