1 Timothy5:18
These words evidently show, that by honour, in the former verse, is to be understood maintenance; a place is here cited where the law of Moses forbade the muzzling of the ox that treadeth out the corn, Deut 25:4 but allowed him feeding all the time of working, in like manner, the labour of the church's guides gives them a right to the church's maintenance and honour; but such as do not labour have a right to neither.
