The eighth Principle.
8. 1Grant to others what you would have others grant to you. We are usually better at receiving then at giving; we care not how much we receive, nor how little we give: though it be more honourable to give then to receive? When our selves are inferiors and others superiors, we beg (as did the servant, Matt. 18 26) Have patience a little, have a little patience; but when our selves are superiors, and others inferiors, we have no patience at all.
