Honour a physician with the honour due unto him for the uses which ye may have of him: for the Lord hath created him.

For of the most High cometh healing, and he shall receive honour of the king.
3

And he hath given men skill, that he might be honoured in his marvellous works.
7

8
Of such doth the apothecary make a confection; and of his works there is no end; and from him is peace over all the earth,
9

10
Leave off from sin, and order thine hands aright, and cleanse thy heart from all wickedness.
