And now let me make a word of use, Christians, If their Office be so honourable, then honour them. O give them the honour §Ʋse.that is due unto them. Will you make conscience to give others their due? And will you make no conscience of giving Ministers their due? Are there any that are greater blessings to a Nation, then faithful Ministers? Who have stood more in the gap to turn away wrath, then they? Who have begotten you to Christ through the Gospel, but they? Who have turned you from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan, unto God, but them? Who have built you up in the light and love of Jesus, but them? &c. O don't cast scorn and reproach upon them, but give them that honour that is due unto them.

I answer, You must honour them these five ways.
