1Honoured be thy name.
- 1To honour gods name what it is.
Honoured and praised be thy name or honoured and praised be thou, for to honour God and to honour the name of God is all one. And to honour the name of God is, to dread him to love him and to keep his commandments. For when a child obeyeth his father, he honoureth and praiseth his father and when he is rebellious and disobedient, he dishonoureth his father. This is then the understanding and meaning of it. O father / seeing thou art father over all / pour out thy spirit upon all flesh / and make all men to fear and dread & love thee as their father, and in keeping thy commandments to honour thee and thy holy name.
Honoured and praysed be thy name or honoured and praysed be thou, for to honoure God and to honoure the name of God is all one. And to honoure the name of God is, to dreade hym to loue hym and to kepe hys commaundementes. For when a chylde obeyeth his father, he honoreth and prayseth his father and when he is rebellyous and dysobedient, he dyshonoreth his father. This is then the vnderstandynge and meanyng of it. O father / seynge thou art father ouer al / powre out thy spyryte vpon al fleshe / and make all men to feare and drede & loue the as their father, and in kepyng thy commaundementes to honoure the and thy holy name.
