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.

By this it appeareth, that our common forms of salutations are commendable: which are of divers sorts; as when one meets another, God save you: when one goes away, God be with you: in the morning, God give you a good morning: after noon, God give you a good evening: when one is going on his journey, God speed your journey: when one is working, God speed you: in eating, much good do it you: when one hath a new office, God give you joy of your office: when one is sick, God comfort you, &c.
