Honour consisteth in the inward thought, and opinion of the power, and goodness of another; and therefore to honour God, is to think as highly of his power and goodness, as is possible. And of that opinion, the external signs appearing in the words and actions of men, are called _worship_; which is one part of that which the Latins understand by the word _cultus_. For _cultus_ signifieth properly, and constantly, that labour which a man bestows on anything, with a purpose to make benefit by it. Now those things whereof we make benefit, are either subject to us, and the profit they yield, followeth the labour we bestow upon them, as a natural effect; or they are not subject to us, but answer our labour, according to their own wills. In the first sense the labour bestowed on the earth, is called _culture_; and the education of children, a _culture_ of their minds. In the second sense, where men’s wills are to be wrought to our purpose, not by force, but by complaisance, it signifieth as much as courting, that is, a winning of favour by good offices; as by praises, by acknowledging their power, and by whatsoever is pleasing to them from whom we look for any benefit. And this is properly _worship_: in which sense _Publicola_, is understood for a worshipper of the people; and _cultus Dei_, for the worship of God. [Sidenote: Several signs of honour.] From internal honour, consisting in the opinion of power and goodness, arise three passions; _love_, which hath reference to goodness; and _hope_, and _fear_, that relate to power: and three parts of external worship; _praise_, _magnifying_, and _blessing_: the subject of praise, being goodness; the subject of magnifying and blessing, being power, and the effect thereof felicity. Praise, and magnifying are signified both by words, and actions: by words, when we say a man is good, or great: by actions, when we thank him for his bounty, and obey his power. The opinion of the happiness of another, can only be expressed by words. [Sidenote: Worship natural and arbitrary.] There be some signs of honour, both in attributes and actions, that be naturally so; as amongst attributes, _good_, _just_, _liberal_, and the like; and amongst actions, _prayers_, _thanks_, and _obedience_. Others are so by institution, or custom of men; and in some times and places are honourable; in others, dishonourable; in others, indifferent: such as are the gestures in salutation, prayer, and thanksgiving, in different times and places, differently used. The former is _natural_; the latter _arbitrary_ worship. [Sidenote: Worship commanded and free.]
