That the Spirit is no enemy to Titles of honour, you may see in 1 Pet. 3. 6. where Sarah is commended for obeying Abraham and calling him Lord. And Act. 26. 25. Paul calleth Festus, Most Noble Festus, and calleth Agrippa, King Agrippa, Act. 26. 2, 26, 27. And Rom. 12. 10. We are commanded [In honour to prefer one another,] So that it's one mans duty to give those Titles which another may not ambitiously seek. For my part I will gladly make this agreement with you, I will never wish any man to call me Master, nor be displeased with any that doth not (on that account) if this will satisfy you. But then I confess I dare not condemn them that use so much civility or respect, because Gods Word is of more esteem with me then your most confident fancies and reproaches.
