1 Peter2:17
Verſe 17. Honour all men] As made in the image of God, as capable of heaven, and as having ſome ſpeciall talent to trade with.
Honour the King] i.e. The Roman Emperour, who diſclaimed the name of a King, to avoid the hatred of the people, and yet ſought the full right of Kings, and ſo to deſtroy the liberty of the people. But Kings that will be honoured muſt be juſt, Ruling in the fear of God. 2 Sam [illegible: 1 letter]3 3. Tortuoſis, curvis [non-Latin text not transcribed]
