I am truly so far of that Father's mind, that had we but patience enough to meditate on our original, and our End; from what we came, and whether 'tis that we are tending; would we contemplate on our Features in that impartial Mirroir of a skeleton; and instead of a fawning Glass, see our selves drawn unto the life in an hollow Cranion; I am inclinable to infer we should be higher in Gods eyes, (which regarded not the high, but the low estate of his Hand-maid,) after the rate of our being viler, and more contemptible in our own. And even by minding higher Things than now we doe, we should lesse be highminded than now we are. Then let us not stand at too great a distance from the most despicable Person for whom Christ dyed; (no not so much as from the man, who bids us stand farther off, for he is holyer than we;) since we are equally descended from the very same Eve; and so, by Her, from the very same Adam; and so, by Him, from the very same Earth. Suppose a Potter of the same clay shall make a washpott, and a Basin, intending That for the Kitchen, and This especially for the Closet; shall the Basin say to the washpot, I am better than Thou? There may indeed be a great, but there cannot be any intrinsick difference; |
