If it be asked, If and how honour differeth from love? Answ. It differeth from love, in that love properly considereth men more generally, as they are capable of good, which we wish unto them: but this considereth them more particularly, as so and so qualified, and having such and such things in them deserving respect; for honour being a bearing of testimony to something worthy of respect in such a one, it doth first consider what is worthy of honour in the person, that so it may bear a testimony truly, according as it findeth ground.
