They gaue honoure and reuerence to none, and they vsed to speake* 1.1 to such as were in authoritie withoute any signification of honour, neither woulde they call men by their titles, and they aunswered chur〈1 line〉〈1 line〉shly.
If we giue honoure and reuerence to none, let vs not only haue none againe, but let vs be had as those that are vnworthy to liue amongst men. I feare there be of those, which are your fauou∣rers, Ecclesiasticall persons, that if they should meete with my Lord Mayor of London, woulde streine curtesie, whether he or they should put off the cappe first. We giue the titles of Maiestie, to the Queene our soueraygne, of grace, to Duke and Duches, of honoure to those whiche are in honoure, and so to euery one, according to their estate. If we misse, it is not bycause we are not willing, but bycause we know not always what perteineth vnto them, and then our fault is pardo∣nable. For answering churlishly, (*) 1.2 it is answered before in the seuenth Article.
