5._o private_a worship_n be_v profitable_a to_o all_o the_o end_n of_o a_o family_n it_o be_v a_o acknowledge_v of_o god_n and_o honour_v of_o he_o it_o help_v the_o master_n to_o keep_v his_o

because_o of_o the_o great_a disproportion_n that_o be_v between_o god_n and_o creature_n infinite_o more_o than_o any_o that_o be_v among_o creature_n themselves_o there_o be_v in_o nothing_o

which_o this_o humility_n take_v not_o away_o see_v job_n 29._o throughout_o the_o chapter_n 2._o this_o humility_n be_v not_o opposite_a to_o magnanimity_n boldness_n and_o zeal_n but_o be_v well_o consistent_a with_o these_o as_o be_v clear_a in_o christ_n the_o apostle_n and_o other_o of_o the_o saint_n for_o boldness_n and_o magnanimity_n be_v a_o adventure_n in_o christ_n strength_n upon_o what_o one_o be_v call_v to_o according_a to_o warrantable_a ground_n &_o humility_n although_o it_o lead_v we_o to_o entertain_v due_a thought_n of_o our_o own_o infirmity_n yet_o it_o moderate_v we_o in_o that_o also_o according_a to_o right_a reason_n so_o that_o the_o exercise_n of_o both_o be_v to_o be_v order_v according_a to_o this_o rule_n of_o reason_n as_o the_o call_v occasion_n

and_o the_o same_o person_n and_o at_o one_o and_o the_o same_o time_n 3._o from_o this_o we_o may_v see_v that_o humility_n differ_v from_o and_o be_v somewhat_o else_o then_o faint_v and_o

thing_n considerable_a 1._o there_o be_v a_o bonum_fw-la or_o a_o good_a thing_n which_o be_v desirable_a as_o for_o example_n to_o do_v some_o exploit_n to_o undergo_v some_o charge_n etc._n etc._n now_o man_n be_v bend_v to_o be_v ambitious_a covetous_a rash_a etc._n etc._n to_o attain_v such_o a_o good_a humility_n moderate_v their_o desire_n and_o design_n according_a to_o their_o capacity_n and_o ability_n and_o bridle_v that_o excess_n upon_o the_o one_o hand_n be_v of_o great_a advantage_n there_o be_v again_o in_o the_o second_o place_n in_o attain_v such_o thing_n a_o difficulty_n

from_o fall_v into_o discouragement_n or_o pusillanimous_a pensiveness_n which_o be_v the_o defect_n upon_o the_o other_o hand_n 4._o this_o humility_n as_o a_o grace_n differ_v from_o civility_n and_o outward_a yield_n to_o another_o because_o 1._o it_o proceed_v from_o a_o principle_n of_o conscience_n and_o upon_o a_o conscientious_a account_n viz._n the_o inward_a sense_n and_o feel_n of_o the_o defect_n of_o grace_n in_o ourselves_o and_o the_o impression_n of_o our_o neighbour_n worth_n 3._o it_o be_v single_a without_o any_o approve_a design_n of_o please_a man_n or_o any_o other_o

they_o have_v indeed_o their_o moral_a virtue_n as_o remain_v spark_n of_o nature_n light_n and_o dark_a resemblance_n of_o some_o gospel_n grace_n which_o nevertheless_o want_v the_o principle_n of_o faith_n without_o which_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o please_v god_n and_o not_o be_v direct_v to_o the_o right_a end_n the_o glory_n of_o god_n can_v not_o be_v acceptable_a to_o he_o but_o beside_o this_o imperfection_n and_o defectiveness_n in_o their_o wisdom_n and_o way_n the_o gospel_n have_v a_o far_o more_o high_a and_o noble_a design_n than_o they_o can_v propose_v have_v also_o grace_n that_o be_v whole_o peculiar_a to_o it_o the_o work_n and_o end_n of_o moral_a philosophy_n can_v be_v no_o other_o then_o to_o moderate_a passion_n and_o regulate_v manner_n in_o such_o a_o conformity_n to_o reason_n as_o may_v give_v unto_o a_o man_n void_a of_o all_o sense_n of_o his_o distance_n and_o alienation_n from_o god_n a_o in_o ward_n lie_v tranquillity_n and_o outward_a transient_a peace_n whereas_o the_o project_n and_o scope_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v quite_o another_o thing_n viz._n to_o reconcile_v and_o save_v lose_v sinner_n through_o faith_n in_o christ_n and_o in_o he_o to_o make_v they_o partaker_n of_o holiness_n here_o and_o glory_n and_o happiness_n hereafter_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o as_o the_o gospel_n do_v by_o renew_v and_o sanctify_v whole_o change_v the_o old_a appearance_n of_o virtue_n into_o solid_a grace_n flow_v from_o christ_n the_o fountain_n and_o refer_v to_o god_n as_o their_o true_a end_n so_o do_v it_o also_o require_v and_o
