The Whole Treatise of the Cases of Conscience
The whole treatise of the cases of conscience distinguished into three books: the first whereof is revised and corrected in sundry places, and the other two annexed. Taught and delivered by M. W. Perkins in his holy-day lectures, carefully examined by his own briefs, and now published together for the common good, by T. Pickering Bachelor of Divinity. Whereunto is adjoined a twofold table: one of the heads and number of the questions propounded and resolved; another of the principal texts of Scripture which are either explained, or vindicated from corrupt interpretation.The whole treatise of the cases of conscience distinguished into three bookes: the first whereof is revised and corrected in sundrie places, and the other two annexed.

Book 3 › Chapter 6 › Question 2: II. Question. How one man should honour an other?
Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
First, that Man is first of all to be honoured, ⟨p. 626⟩for virtues sake: because therein principally, stands the internal image of God, Rom. 2. 10. To every man that doth good, shall be honour, glory, & peace; to the Jew first &c. Now whereas the Question might be, Who is the Jew, to whom this honour must be yielded? Paul answers, vers. 29. that he is not a Jew, which is one outward, but he is a Jew, who is one within. And the circumcision is of the heart. And Solomon saith, that Honour is unseemly for a fool, Prou. 26. 1. And the Holy Ghost to the Hebrews saith, that by faith, our Elders were well reported of. The Heathen man 1Marcus Marcellus a Roman, dedicated a Ten ple to the Goddess of Honour, and the way to that temple was, by the house of Virtue.
