how strange a thing it is, that any man should grow proud? And yet how hard a thing it is, to meet with a man who is truly humble? Our understandings indeed are dark, our wills disobedient, our hearts dec•itful, our passions eminently perverse; But, which makes us most miserable, we are so senseless of our being so, That our special Impellents to Humiliation are common Incentives unto our Pride. We are apt to glory in our Infirmities, (if I may use St. Pauls words, not only without, but against his meaning,) and to take honour unto our selves from the justest matter of mortification. 'Tis not the knowledge of what we were, nor the remembrance of what we shall be; 'Tis not the baseness of a Conception, nor the unloveliness of a Grave; 'Tis not the gastliness of Death, nor yet the dreadfulness of Iudgment, that can subdue our exalted Thoughts to an humble sense of our unworthiness. But apt we are to be transported, with a complacency in our selves, |
