I find in a Treatise of Plutarchs about the evil of 1taking honour to ones self, a notable relation of one Pytho, who having slain a great enemy of the country, whose name was Cotys, whilst the officers of the 2people were striving who should do him most honour, he speaks thus unto them: These things some of the gods have done; as for us we have but lent our hands to this work. It is true, the General and many of our Captains and Soldiers have done worthily, but it is as true that they have only lent their hands to this work. The Lord of hosts hath done this great thing both for them and us; If we would express our respects to the General, and honour him as he hath deserved, in this thing especially, we should do it to speak well of him before this Lord of Hosts, and to pray much for him.
