the_o faith_n of_o christ_n the_o righteousness_n which_o be_v of_o god_n by_o faith_n chap._n xviii_o the_o true_a humility_n that_o be_v in_o the_o lord_n people_n all_o saint_n have_v more_o or_o less_o a_o humble_a frame_n of_o heart_n that_o whatsoever_o grace_n or_o gift_n god_n bestow_v upon_o they_o they_o have_v low_a thought_n of_o themselves_o 1._o how_o a_o humble_a frame_n of_o heart_n be_v show_v towards_o the_o lord_n 2._o how_o a_o humble_a frame_n of_o heart_n be_v show_v in_o our_o carriage_n towards_o other_o saint_n i._o towards_o the_o lord_n 1_o when_o after_o all_o our_o duty_n and_o performance_n we_o look_v upon_o ourselves_o but_o as_o unprofitable_a servant_n and_o infinite_o unworthy_a that_o god_n shall_v deal_v so_o gracious_o with_o we_o but_o we_o look_v upon_o all_o as_o free_a grace_n without_o this_o a_o man_n have_v no_o gospel_n humility_n but_o be_v a_o proud_a pharisee_fw-mi who_o heart_n be_v puff_v up_o with_o his_o own_o righteousness_n and_o do_v not_o glory_n only_o in_o the_o lord_n where_o there_o be_v true_a humility_n of_o heart_n the_o soul_n say_v with_o jacob_n genesis_n 32.10_o i_o be_o not_o only_o unworthy_a of_o of_o christ_n and_o heaven_n but_o i_o be_o less_o than_o the_o least_o of_o all_o the_o mercy_n and_o faithfulness_n which_o the_o lord_n have_v show_v to_o his_o servant_n but_o a_o man_n under_o legal_a working_n only_o have_v a_o desperate_a proud_a heart_n against_o god_n still_o and_o be_v fit_a to_o stand_v upon_o term_n with_o god_n that_o he_o have_v no_o cause_n to_o damn_v he_o though_o he_o in_o word_n confess_v he_o may_v do_v it_o 2_o this_o be_v true_a humility_n of_o heart_n when_o a_o man_n can_v loathe_v and_o abhor_v himself_o for_o sin_n as_o david_n psalm_n 51.3,4_o job_n 42._o but_o when_o a_o man_n can_v think_v of_o old_a sin_n and_o new_a sin_n and_o no_o way_n affect_v it_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o a_o proud_a unhumbled_a heart_n 3_o when_o a_o soul_n be_v in_o some_o measure_n submit_v to_o all_o god_n deal_n to_o all_o chastisement_n and_o affliction_n as_o david_n psalm_n 39.9_o i_o be_v dumb_a and_o open_v not_o my_o mouth_n because_o thou_o do_v it_o there_o be_v much_o humility_n of_o heart_n see_v in_o this_o when_o we_o be_v willing_a god_n shall_v do_v with_o we_o our_o estate_n relation_n and_o enjoyment_n as_o it_o seem_v good_a in_o his_o own_o eye_n a_o proud_a heart_n will_v not_o bear_v to_o be_v cross_v but_o say_v a_o humble_a heart_n though_o it_o be_v a_o grievous_a affliction_n that_o be_v befall_v i_o yet_o it_o be_v from_o the_o lord_n and_o i_o will_v be_v dumb_a and_o not_o open_v my_o mouth_n against_o it_o because_o he_o do_v it_o 4_o when_o a_o soul_n go_v on_o to_o wait_v for_o a_o mercy_n and_o beg_v for_o a_o mercy_n when_o god_n delay_v a_o mercy_n and_o seem_v to_o slight_v the_o soul_n and_o yet_o now_o for_o the_o soul_n to_o wait_v and_o not_o to_o stir_v from_o the_o door_n of_o mercy_n but_o beg_v the_o alm_n more_o humble_o and_o submissive_o this_o be_v like_o the_o woman_n of_o canaan_n indeed_o she_o do_v not_o go_v away_o in_o a_o snuff_n let_v christ_n call_v her_o dog_n and_o she_o say_v truth_n lord_n i_o be_o no_o better_o yet_o lord_n give_v the_o dog_n a_o few_o crumb_n but_o heart_n that_o have_v not_o be_v true_o humble_v will_v fling_v up_o pray_v and_o hear_v present_o if_o they_o can_v find_v comfort_n soon_o like_o a_o sturdy_a beggar_n that_o if_o the_o alm_n do_v not_o come_v present_o go_v away_o in_o a_o rage_n o_o but_o there_o be_v many_o a_o humble_a heart_n wait_v and_o pray_v many_o a_o year_n for_o a_o mercy_n 5_o when_o a_o soul_n can_v submit_v to_o god_n when_o he_o take_v away_o a_o mercy_n that_o he_o have_v give_v we_o but_o a_o little_a before_o o_o say_v a_o proud_a heart_n when_o god_n take_v away_o a_o mercy_n if_o god_n have_v never_o give_v i_o it_o it_o have_v be_v better_a i_o can_v have_v be_v content_a to_o have_v be_v without_o it_o but_o do_v god_n give_v i_o estate_n child_n honour_n to_o take_v they_o away_o so_o present_o again_o o_o but_o say_v a_o humble_a heart_n i_o be_v unworthy_a to_o have_v this_o mercy_n at_o all_o i_o have_v cause_n to_o bless_v god_n that_o i_o have_v have_v any_o sun-shiny_a weather_n in_o my_o journey_n 6_o it_o show_v humility_n of_o heart_n when_o after_o god_n have_v make_v great_a use_n of_o a_o man_n and_o god_n will_v now_o lay_v he_o aside_o that_o yet_o now_o we_o be_v well_o content_a and_o take_v great_a care_n that_o god_n work_n may_v go_v on_o though_o we_o be_v not_o employ_v in_o it_o as_o moses_n num._n 27.14,15,16,17_o when_o the_o lord_n tell_v he_o that_o he_o shall_v die_v and_o not_o lead_v the_o people_n into_o canaan_n because_o of_o that_o sin_n at_o the_o water_n of_o meribah_n he_o do_v not_o stand_v upon_o term_n and_o say_v after_o i_o have_v do_v such_o great_a service_n will_v thou_o be_v angry_a for_o such_o a_o offence_n that_o i_o who_o have_v have_v such_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o care_n and_o trouble_v with_o this_o people_n shall_v not_o see_v the_o end_n of_o the_o work_n no_o no_o he_o do_v not_o say_v a_o word_n to_o excuse_v his_o sin_n or_o to_o show_v the_o least_o discontent_n that_o he_o be_v lay_v aside_o but_o take_v care_n for_o the_o work_n go_v on_o when_o he_o be_v lay_v aside_o say_v he_o lord_z set_z a_o man_n over_o the_o congregation_n that_o may_v go_v in_o before_o they_o and_o go_v out_o before_o they_o that_o the_o congregation_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v not_o as_o sheep_n without_o a_o shepherd_n a_o proud_a heart_n will_v have_v be_v so_o offend_v that_o he_o will_v not_o have_v care_v what_o become_v of_o the_o work_n if_o he_o be_v lay_v aside_o so_o second_o humility_n of_o heart_n be_v see_v in_o our_o carriage_n towards_o other_o saint_n as_o 1_o when_o we_o look_v upon_o ourselves_o as_o the_o least_o of_o all_o saint_n as_o paul_n say_v of_o himself_o say_v a_o humble_a heart_n though_o it_o may_v be_v i_o can_v discourse_v better_o yet_o i_o can_v pray_v so_o well_o as_o yonder_o poor_a saint_n or_o i_o can_v trust_v god_n in_o strait_n and_o difficulty_n so_o well_o as_o he_o or_o i_o have_v not_o that_o gospel_n simplicity_n that_o he_o have_v or_o i_o be_o not_o so_o forward_o to_o heavenly_a discourse_n as_o he_o be_v or_o say_v a_o humble_a heart_n yonder_o saint_n can_v submit_v better_o in_o affliction_n than_o i_o or_o sure_o he_o have_v not_o so_o vain_a a_o heart_n as_o i_o or_o sure_o he_o have_v not_o such_o distraction_n in_o duty_n as_o i_o so_o that_o a_o humble_a heart_n in_o one_o respect_n or_o another_o do_v true_o look_v upon_o himself_o as_o the_o least_o and_o unworthy_a of_o all_o saint_n 2_o when_o we_o can_v take_v a_o reproof_n from_o the_o mean_a saint_n in_o the_o world_n the_o mean_a for_o estate_n or_o gift_n whereas_o a_o proud_a heart_n say_v if_o such_o a_o one_o have_v tell_v i_o of_o my_o fault_n i_o can_v have_v bear_v it_o but_o for_o such_o as_o you_o to_o reprove_v he_o he_o can_v take_v it_o well_o but_o say_v a_o humble_o heart_n lord_n i_o bless_v thou_o that_o thou_o open_v the_o mouth_n of_o any_o to_o deal_v faithful_o with_o my_o soul_n 3_o where_o there_o be_v a_o humble_a heart_n we_o be_v desirous_a to_o partake_v of_o the_o light_n and_o gift_n of_o other_o as_o well_o as_o show_v our_o own_o 4_o a_o humble_a heart_n do_v not_o envy_v other_o that_o out_o go_v he_o in_o gift_n and_o grace_n and_o success_n and_o be_v more_o honour_v than_o he_o be_v as_o john_n do_v not_o envy_n christ_n that_o he_o outstripped_n he_o john_n 3.26,27,28_o but_o can_v cheerful_o bear_v witness_n unto_o christ_n desert_n though_o he_o eclipse_v he_o 5_o a_o humble_a heart_n can_v condescend_v to_o the_o mean_a office_n to_o be_v serviceable_a to_o poor_a saint_n a_o proud_a heart_n be_v fit_a to_o think_v it_o a_o disparagement_n to_o go_v to_o the_o house_n of_o poor_a saint_n and_o to_o be_v see_v with_o such_o mean_a people_n but_o say_v a_o humble_a heart_n it_o be_v a_o great_a mercy_n and_o favour_n that_o i_o may_v enjoy_v communion_n with_o the_o lord_n people_n or_o be_v any_o way_n serviceable_a to_o they_o though_o they_o be_v never_o so_o mean_a and_o poor_a 6_o a_o humble_a heart_n be_v not_o so_o delight_v and_o tickle_v and_o puff_v up_o with_o applause_n and_o commendation_n from_o other_o but_o many_o time_n be_v the_o more_o humble_v upon_o it_o and_o be_v more_o sensible_a of_o his_o own_o unworthiness_n all_o saint_n have_v cause_n enough_o to_o be_v humble_a
