Tob 4:16 · Douay-Rheims
“See thou never do to another what thou wouldst hate to have done to thee by another.”
Post-Reformation c. 1650 – 1900

“Another. Behold the grand maxim of fraternal charity, Matthew viii. 12. Alex. Severus was so much pleased with it, that he had it often repeated by a herald, and inscribed on public edifices. What thou wouldst not have done to thee, do not thou to another. (Lamprid.) — Greek and Hebrew add a caution against drunkenness and drunken companions. Fagius has another against revenge; and the old Vulgate, “give not way to wickedness.””
