Worship

Dr. Garth.—The Dispensary, Canto III. Line 42.
With my body I thee worship.
Prayer Book.—Matrimony.
[The word worship, here means “honor;” with my body I thee honour.—See Dr. Trench on this phrase in his “English Past and Present,” Lecture 4.]
The servant therefore fell down and worshipped him.
St. Matthew, chap. xviii. ver. 26.
[Here also the servant honoured his master and besought him to have patience with him and he would pay the debt; a very different thing indeed from paying adoration to him.]
