Jdg_13:17 And Manoah said unto the angel of the LORD, What [is] thy name, that when thy sayings come to pass we may do thee honour?
Ver. 17. What is thy name?] This he asketh, not out of curiosity, but of an honest intent to do him honour, by some munus honorarium, honorary present, and all due respect besides; such as the Shunamite gave Elisha, and as that good woman in the Book of Martyrs gave Dr Sands, who departing the land for fear of Queen Mary, told her, who had been married eight years, and was childless, that ere one whole year was past, she should have a son: and it came to pass accordingly, that time twelveth month, lacking but one day. {a}
{a} Act. and Mon., 1894.
