ואחרון שקרא ארבעה משובח משום מעלין בקדש ולא מורידין רב פפא איקלע לבי כנישתא דאבי גובר וקרא ראשון ארבעה ושבחיה רב פפא:

“If the last reads four verses he is praiseworthy”: Because of the principle that “in dealing with holy things we go up but never go down.” R. Papa was once in the synagogue of Ave Govar, when the first one [who was called up] read four verses, and R. Papa praised him.
