It is an excellent lesson which may here be taken forth by us, namely, to looke upon our selves in reference to God, that so we may be vile and little in our own eyes. There are many exeellencies wherein we are apt to glory, and whereof to boast, which if they would but compare with divine attributes, would appear mean and contemptible. Wert thou strong as Sampson, yet thou mayst say, My strength is nothing before thee, not so much and weak stripling is before a mighty Giant; wert thou as wise as Solomon, yet say, my wisdome is nothing before thee, not so much as the silly brute is before the intelligent Angels; the very foolishnesse of God (to use St. Pauls language) being wiser than the wisdome of men; |
