every_o small_a occasion_n to_o run_v away_o from_o their_o guide_n this_o therefore_o be_v the_o first_o advantage_n that_o humility_n bring_v in_o towards_o wisdom_n viz._n it_o dispose_v man_n to_o give_v a_o fix_a entertainment_n to_o truth_n but_o second_o in_o case_n of_o error_n which_o no_o doubt_n the_o humble_a man_n may_v sometime_o be_v draw_v into_o either_o by_o reason_n of_o imposition_n or_o surprise_n but_o in_o this_o case_n humility_n bring_v in_o another_o advantage_n of_o no_o less_o importance_n than_o the_o former_a and_o that_o be_v it_o always_o dispose_v a_o man_n to_o a_o ready_a conviction_n and_o a_o quick_a repentance_n which_o indeed_o be_v a_o great_a instance_n of_o wisdom_n than_o never_o to_o have_v err_v because_o repentance_n be_v always_o a_o virtue_n whereas_o not_o to_o have_v err_v may_v often_o be_v no_o other_o than_o luck_n the_o humble_a man_n therefore_o though_o he_o may_v err_v yet_o he_o will_v never_o be_v a_o heretic_n as_o the_o father_n distinguish_v upon_o his_o own_o case_n he_o will_v never_o add_v malice_n to_o his_o infirmity_n nor_o contumacy_n to_o his_o mistake_n he_o be_v ever_o dispose_v to_o own_o that_o there_o be_v more_o religion_n in_o confess_v truth_n than_o in_o consult_v credit_n and_o therefore_o he_o will_v much_o rather_o confess_v himself_o to_o have_v be_v a_o fool_n once_o than_o continue_v to_o be_v one_o always_o in_o point_n of_o honour_n but_o where_o pride_n once_o twist_v itself_o with_o error_n there_o a_o man_n case_n look_v as_o one_o sink_v with_o a_o weight_n at_o his_o heel_n which_o will_v be_v sure_a never_o to_o let_v he_o rise_v again_o for_o pride_n that_o most_o mischievous_a of_o all_o counsellor_n will_v always_o be_v whisper_v this_o advice_n into_o the_o ear._n if_o thou_o have_v err_v persist_v and_o justify_v it_o with_o argument_n and_o passion_n for_o it_o be_v possible_a that_o so_o thou_o may_v get_v the_o victory_n and_o victory_n be_v oftentimes_o of_o great_a moment_n than_o truth_n for_o perhaps_o thou_o be_v a_o lead_a man_n and_o the_o esteem_n of_o thy_o wisdom_n be_v influential_a to_o the_o conduct_n of_o other_o and_o if_o so_o why_o then_o one_o base_a retraction_n may_v pull_v down_o all_o that_o thou_o have_v build_v be_v sure_a therefore_o that_o it_o be_v honest_a it_o be_v for_o edification_n it_o be_v for_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n that_o thou_o be_v obstinate_a what_o counsel_n of_o this_o nature_n pride_n be_v always_o ready_a to_o suggest_v and_o how_o fatal_o her_o counsel_n do_v obstruct_v the_o repentance_n of_o mankind_n whether_o in_o reference_n to_o error_n or_o to_o crime_n may_v large_o appear_v from_o the_o jesuit_n doctrine_n of_o reputation_n as_o i_o may_v call_v those_o instance_n where_o they_o teach_v how_o a_o man_n may_v dissemble_v prevaricate_v and_o falsify_v in_o case_n of_o preserve_v the_o reputation_n either_o of_o himself_o or_o of_o his_o cause_n and_o it_o be_v too_o gross_o exemplify_v in_o those_o measure_n of_o the_o roman_a court_n by_o which_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n be_v overbear_v where_o when_o it_o come_v to_o be_v debate_v whether_o or_o no_o they_o shall_v comply_v with_o the_o public_a vote_n of_o christendom_n and_o proceed_v to_o a_o reformation_n though_o all_o agree_v that_o it_o be_v needful_a to_o reform_v yet_o pride_n carry_v it_o in_o the_o negative_a by_o suggest_v that_o it_o will_v give_v advantage_n to_o the_o heretic_n mean_v thereby_o that_o the_o acknowledgement_n of_o any_o present_a error_n or_o abuse_n in_o the_o church_n must_v necessary_o expose_v their_o great_a diana_n infallibility_n and_o make_v she_o lose_v more_o of_o her_o worship_n history_n thus_o humility_n be_v assist_v to_o wisdom_n the_o

of_o our_o appetite_n and_o passion_n and_o nothing_o can_v have_v a_o more_o happy_a influence_n upon_o this_o government_n than_o humility_n because_o that_o according_a as_o a_o man_n esteem_v of_o himself_o so_o always_o he_o covet_v and_o so_o he_o resent_v it_o be_v the_o proud_a man_n that_o think_v himself_o worthy_a of_o all_o honour_n and_o fit_a for_o all_o employment_n and_o competent_a
