now_o consider_v all_o this_o and_o much_o more_o to_o this_o purpose_n his_o own_o glory_n vanish_v from_o his_o sight_n he_o entertain_v low_a and_o just_a thought_n of_o himself_o as_o a_o poor_a

any_o considerable_a part_n of_o that_o service_n which_o he_o ought_v to_o do_v he_o look_v upon_o all_o that_o he_o have_v as_o another_o free_a gift_n and_o bounty_n he_o look_v upon_o all_o that_o

the_o power_n and_o wisdom_n of_o his_o manager_n be_v direct_v to_o something_o good_a from_o hence_o it_o also_o come_v that_o whatsoever_o this_o humble_a man_n have_v he_o hold_v himself_o as_o a_o debtor_n to_o god_n for_o it_o so_o also_o most_o unworthy_a of_o it_o and_o it_o whatever_o it_o be_v too_o good_a for_o he_o and_o can_v but_o admire_v god_n goodness_n and_o bounty_n to_o such_o a_o thing_n as_o he_o be_v in_o permit_v he_o yet_o to_o live_v if_o he_o suffer_v any_o evil_n he_o account_v it_o a_o very_a light_a thing_n in_o comparison_n of_o what_o he_o have_v

that_o they_o be_v no_o great_a whatsoever_o he_o do_v if_o it_o be_v sinful_a he_o take_v it_o all_o to_o himself_o he_o own_v the_o shame_n of_o it_o and_o think_v of_o himself_o as_o a_o sinner_n ought_v to_o do_v and_o if_o it_o be_v good_a he_o bless_v god_n that_o have_v enable_v he_o to_o do_v it_o and_o call_v nothing_o of_o it_o his_o own_o beside_o the_o imperfection_n of_o it_o nor_o
