true_a that_o it_o can_v never_o be_v expect_v that_o all_o the_o world_n shall_v be_v persuade_v to_o be_v humble_a no_o more_o than_o it_o can_v be_v expect_v that_o all_o shall_v be_v persuade_v

there_o be_v the_o few_o proud_a man_n and_o consequent_o few_o common_a disturber_n of_o the_o peace_n and_o welfare_n of_o mankind_n and_o humane_a society_n 2._o when_o the_o contest_v come_v by_o the_o proud_a man_n against_o the_o proud_a man_n indeed_o there_o be_v the_o same_o tumult_n between_o they_o as_o if_o there_o be_v none_o humble_a but_o when_o the_o contest_v be_v by_o the_o proud_a man_n against_o the_o humble_a man_n the_o strife_n be_v quick_o at_o a_o end_n it_o be_v a_o true_a proverb_n it_o be_v the_o second_o blow_n make_v the_o sray_n the_o humble_a man_n give_v

gentleness_n and_o facility_n of_o the_o humble_a man_n whereby_o he_o suffer_v in_o his_o own_o particular_a yet_o there_o be_v two_o advantage_n that_o hereby_o happen_v to_o the_o public_a viz._n 1._o that_o the_o contention_n be_v soon_o at_o a_o end_n the_o proud_a man_n have_v get_v the_o day_n and_o the_o party_n be_v quiet_a 2._o it_o gain_v a_o secret_a compassion_n from_o the_o beholder_n to_o the_o injure_a humble_a man_n and_o a_o general_a resentment_n and_o detestation_n of_o the_o injury_n commit_v to_o the_o humble_a man_n that_o receive_v the_o injury_n with_o so_o much_o humility_n and_o bear_v it_o with_o so_o much_o patience_n and_o thereby_o pride_n and_o oppression_n become_v the_o common_a object_n of_o the_o general_a detestation_n of_o insolence_n pride_n and_o oppression_n and_o the_o generality_n of_o mankind_n thereupon_o look_v on_o they_o as_o beast_n of_o prey_n with_o hatred_n and_o abhorrence_n and_o endeavour_n mean_v to_o secure_v themselves_o against_o it_o 3._o a_o three_o advantage_n be_v this_o that_o though_o oftentimes_o humble_a and_o good_a man_n be_v expose_v to_o the_o injury_n of_o the_o proud_a violent_a and_o insolent_a yet_o they_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o ferment_n or_o leaven_n in_o the_o place_n where_o they_o live_v and_o by_o the_o secret_a influence_n of_o their_o virtue_n the_o commendableness_n of_o their_o conversation_n and_o the_o secret_a interest_n that_o virtue_n have_v in_o the_o soul_n not_o only_o of_o good_a but_o even_o of_o the_o worst_a man_n it_o do_v work_v upon_o mankind_n assimilate_v in_o some_o measure_n to_o itself_o and_o make_v other_o good_a and_o humble_a by_o a_o kind_n of_o secret_a magnetism_n that_o that_o virtue_n have_v upon_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n and_o the_o more_o such_o be_v in_o number_n in_o the_o world_n the_o more_o effectual_a and_o operative_a their_o example_n and_o influence_n will_v be_v upon_o those_o with_o who_o they_o converse_v 2._o as_o to_o the_o second_o namely_o the_o damage_n and_o detriment_n that_o the_o humble_a man_n receive_v in_o the_o world_n upon_o the_o very_a account_n of_o his_o humility_n i_o answer_v first_o that_o detriment_n be_v abundant_o recompense_v with_o the_o quiet_a and_o tranquillity_n and_o evenness_n and_o composedness_n of_o his_o own_o mind_n as_o a_o man_n possess_v his_o own_o soul_n by_o patience_n so_o he_o do_v by_o humility_n namely_o the_o composedness_n right_a temper_n and_o due_a estate_n of_o his_o own_o mind_n which_o no_o proud_a or_o violent_a or_o impatient_a man_n do_v or_o can_v but_o second_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o though_o a_o humble_a man_n may_v upon_o the_o very_a score_n of_o his_o humility_n and_o meekness_n receive_v a_o brush_n in_o the_o world_n yet_o at_o the_o long_o run_v he_o gain_v advantage_n thereby_o even_o in_o this_o present_a life_n when_o i_o first_o read_v the_o say_n of_o our_o saviour_n matth._n 5._o bless_a be_v the_o meek_a for_o they_o shall_v inherit_v the_o earth_n i_o look_v upon_o it_o as_o a_o mere_a paradox_n if_o apply_v to_o the_o comfort_n of_o this_o life_n and_o therefore_o think_v it_o must_v be_v mere_o and_o only_o intend_v of_o that_o new_a heaven_n and_o new_a earth_n wherein_o dwell_v the_o righteous_a but_o upon_o deep_a consideration_n i_o find_v it_o in_o a_o great_a measure_n true_a also_o of_o the_o former_a for_o 1._o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o no_o proud_a man_n be_v true_o love_v by_o any_o but_o himself_o but_o so_o far_o as_o relate_v to_o his_o pride_n every_o man_n hate_v he_o one_o proud_a man_n perfect_o hate_v another_o and_o look_n upon_o he_o as_o his_o enemy_n and_o those_o very_a action_n of_o pride_n that_o his_o own_o self_n love_n make_v he_o approve_v or_o at_o least_o allow_v in_o himself_o he_o scorn_v deride_v abhor_v in_o another_o and_o though_o a_o humble_a man_n have_v a_o common_a love_n to_o every_o man_n though_o proud_a or_o otherwise_o vicious_a as_o be_v one_o of_o mankind_n yet_o in_o relation_n to_o his_o pride_n he_o love_v he_o not_o nor_o approve_v that_o very_a consideration_n therefore_o that_o render_v a_o proud_a man_n hate_v or_o not_o love_v render_v a_o humble_a man_n love_v and_o approve_v yea_o and_o by_o the_o very_a proud_a man_n himself_o for_o he_o look_v upon_o he_o as_o no_o obstacle_n or_o impediment_n to_o the_o attain_n of_o his_o end_n as_o one_o that_o be_v injurious_a to_o none_o benificent_a to_o all_o gentle_a and_o one_o that_o stand_v not_o in_o his_o way_n give_v all_o due_a respect_n honour_n and_o difference_n suitable_a to_o his_o place_n and_o dignity_n he_o wish_v all_o the_o world_n be_v such_o as_o he_o except_o himself_o and_o therefore_o he_o respect_v and_o tender_v he_o yea_o and_o we_o shall_v by_o daily_a experience_n see_v in_o the_o world_n that_o if_o a_o proud_a man_n injure_v or_o oppress_v a_o humble_a man_n it_o be_v a_o thousand_o to_o one_o he_o undertake_v his_o patronage_n defence_n and_o vindication_n and_o very_o oftentimes_o be_v a_o mean_n of_o his_o protection_n and_o deliverance_n 3._o but_o far_o it_o be_v a_o certain_a and_o experience_a truth_n that_o virtue_n and_o goodness_n especial_o that_o of_o humility_n have_v a_o secret_a party_n and_o interest_n love_n or_o at_o least_o approve_v it_o in_o another_o though_o they_o practise_v it_o not_o themselves_o for_o virtue_n and_o goodness_n and_o humility_n have_v a_o secret_a congruity_n to_o the_o true_a and_o genuine_a frame_n of_o the_o humane_a nature_n and_o though_o man_n lust_n and_o passion_n in_o a_o great_a measure_n obscure_v the_o consonancy_n to_o it_o they_o can_v never_o extinguish_v it_o but_o the_o mind_n and_o conscience_n will_v give_v a_o
