Sect. 2.

In the second place commeth to be con∣sidered, our honour due vnto our Equalls. Concerning which, there be two Rules.

I. Rule. Equalls, must esteeme better of others, then of themselues. Thus Paul exhorts all men, in meekenes of minde, without con∣tention or vaine-glorie, to esteeme others better then themselues. Phil. 2. 3.

II. Rule. Equalls, in giuing honour, must goe one before another. Rom. 12. 10. where the Apostle saith not, in taking honour, be∣cause the dutie by him prescribed, concernes not all persons, but those alone who are of a like or equall condition.
