Note 50 — [HEADIS AND CONCLUSIONIS, &c.]
Reading edition
On the margin of the Haddington copy of the Book of Policy, opposite to this section, there is a note written, but not in the same handwriting as the Book itself. It seems to have been added as a scriptural authority for the provision in this article, and is in the following terms: “Tim. 5, 17. The eldars that rule wel are worthie of double honour, speciallie they which labour in word and doctrine.” And interjected and interlined with sections 26 and 27, are some lines, containing an extract from Beza’s translation of the New Testament, which, however, it is unnecessary to insert here.
