joy_v in_o the_o good_a of_o your_o neighbour_n when_o the_o sermon_n or_o other_o employment_n have_v succeed_v well_o and_o when_o you_o be_v esteem_v and_o praise_v for_o it_o why_o shall_v you_o not_o be_v glad_a of_o your_o own_o good_a when_o you_o have_v do_v what_o be_v in_o you_o be_v yet_o undervalue_v for_o your_o pain_n for_o this_o be_v better_a and_o more_o safe_a for_o you_o if_o you_o be_v glad_a when_o you_o have_v a_o great_a talon_n wherewith_o to_o do_v great_a thing_n for_o the_o good_a of_o other_o why_o be_v yonnot_v glad_v of_o your_o own_o good_a and_o for_o your_o be_v leave_v in_o contempt_n because_o god_n give_v you_o no_o such_o talon_n if_o you_o be_v glad_a when_o you_o have_v much_o health_n and_o strength_n wherewith_o to_o labour_v hard_o for_o the_o good_a of_o other_o why_o shall_v you_o not_o be_v glad_a when_o god_n be_v please_v that_o you_o shall_v be_v sick_a and_o weak_a and_o be_v fit_a for_o nothing_o but_o to_o be_v lay_v in_o a_o

a_o great_a preacher_n or_o a_o wise_a &_o active_a state_n man_n since_o his_o will_n be_v so_o hereby_o it_o may_v be_v see_v how_o much_o deceive_v they_o be_v who_o have_v lodge_v their_o eye_n upon_o honour_n and_o the_o estimation_n of_o the_o world_n under_o colour_n forsooth_o that_o be_v necessary_a for_o the_o do_v good_a to_o other_o and_o under_o this_o pretence_n they_o desire_v high_a place_n and_o honourable_a employment_n and_o all_o that_o which_o look_v like_o greatness_n and_o so_o they_o fly_v from_o all_o that_o which_o be_v mean_a and_o poor_a for_o they_o make_v themselves_o believe_v that_o they_o be_v to_o be_v disauthorise_v thereby_o but_o in_o this_o be_v another_o deceit_n and_o a_o very_a great_a one_o that_o by_o the_o very_a thing_n whereby_o a_o man_n pretend_v to_o gain_v authority_n he_o lose_v it_o and_o by_o that_o whereby_o he_o think_v to_o loose_v it_o he_o shall_v gain_v it_o but_o now_o lay_v this_o last_o reason_n which_o be_v the_o chief_a aside_o and_o to_o consider_v the_o thing_n in_o question_n by_o the_o way_n of_o prudence_n and_o humane_a reason_n you_o can_v employ_v a_o more_o efficatious_a mean_n to_o gain_v authority_n and_o opinion_n among_o your_o neighbour_n and_o to_o do_v good_a to_o soul_n then_o to_o exercise_v yourselves_o in_o these_o thing_n which_o seem_v poor_a and_o base_a such_o as_o be_v to_o catechnize_v child_n in_o a_o low_a way_n of_o short_a question_n and_o answer_n to_o teach_v or_o to_o see_v they_o teach_v the_o first_o principy_n of_o good_a religion_n and_o manner_n daily_o to_o visit_v the_o sick_a the_o poor_a and_o ignorant_a and_o humble_o and_o kind_o to_o instruct_v comfort_n and_o quicken_v they_o as_o occasion_n be_v offer_v and_o to_o do_v these_o thing_n so_o much_o the_o more_o by_o how_o much_o the_o more_o your_o part_n be_v great_a the_o reason_n of_o this_o be_v because_o the_o world_n do_v so_o huge_o esteem_v of_o honour_n and_o estimation_n and_o of_o thing_n which_o be_v high_a in_o order_n to_o that_o end_n as_o that_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n which_o it_o admire_v most_o be_v the_o man_n who_o despise_v that_o and_o to_o see_v that_o one_o who_o may_v be_v use_v in_o high_a and_o honourable_a employment_n do_v choose_v to_o pass_v his_o hour_n in_o thing_n that_o be_v poor_a and_o mean_a and_o thus_o they_o grow_v to_o frame_v a_o great_a conceit_n and_o estimation_n of_o the_o sauctity_n of_o such_o person_n and_o accept_v of_o that_o doctrine_n which_o they_o teach_v as_o if_o it_o come_v immediate_o to_o they_o from_o heaven_n this_o be_v that_o kind_n of_o authority_n whereof_o man_n have_v need_v that_o so_o they_o may_v be_v able_a to_o do_v good_a to_o soul_n this_o be_v the_o estimation_n and_o opinion_n which_o follow_v humble_a man_n and_o belong_v to_o saint_n and_o evangelical_n preacher_n and_o this_o in_o a_o word_n be_v that_o which_o we_o be_v to_o procure_v for_o as_o for_o those_o other_o authority_n and_o reputation_n and_o punctilio_n which_o carry_v a_o smack_n and_o savour_n of_o the_o world_n with_o they_o they_o do_v great_a hurt_n and_o they_o disedifie_v our_o

leave_v you_o that_o to_o god_n for_o even_o whereby_o you_o shall_v most_o humble_a and_o abase_v yourselves_o thereby_o will_v god_n raise_v you_o most_o and_o endue_v you_o with_o another_o

xxvi_o of_o the_o three_o degree_n of_o humility_n the_o three_o degree_n of_o humility_n be_v when_o a_o man_n possess_v great_a virtue_n and_o gift_n of_o god_n and_o be_v in_o great_a honour_n and_o estimation_n grow_v not_o as_o all_o proud_a thereby_o nor_o attribute_n any_o thing_n to_o himself_o but_o refer_v and_o ascribe_v it_o all_o to_o the_o true_a fountain_n thereof_o which_o be_v god_n from_o who_o every_o good_a and_o perfect_a gift_n proceed_v this_o three_o degree_n of_o humility_n say_v bonaventure_n belong_v to_o high_a and_o perfect_a man_n and_o by_o how_o much_o high_o they_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o low_o do_v they_o humble_v themselves_o that_o a_o man_n who_o be_v imperfect_a and_o faulty_a shall_v know_v and_o esteem_v himself_o for_o such_o be_v no_o great_a matter_n it_o be_v commendable_a and_o good_a but_o it_o be_v no_o wonderful_a thing_n any_o more_o than_o it_o be_v for_o the_o son_n of_o a_o plough_n man_n not_o to_o desire_v to_o be_v hold_v for_o the_o king_n son_n or_o a_o poor_a man_n for_o poor_a or_o a_o sick_a man_n for_o sick_a and_o that_o other_o may_v hold_v they_o for_o such_o as_o they_o know_v themselves_o to_o be_v but_o that_o a_o rich_a man_n shall_v account_v himself_o poor_a and_o the_o great_a man_n make_v himself_o little_a and_o so_o conform_v himself_o to_o mean_a person_n this_o indeed_o deserve_v to_o be_v account_v strange_a he_o say_v that_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v wonder_v at_o that_o a_o man_n who_o be_v imperfect_a and_o faulty_a shall_v hold_v himself_o for_o imperfect_a and_o faulty_a nay_o rather_o it_o be_v to_o be_v wonder_v at_o if_o be_v as_o he_o be_v he_o shall_v hold_v himself_o to_o be_v perfect_a and_o good_a for_o it_o be_v as_o if_o be_v full_a of_o leprosy_n he_o shall_v take_v himself_o to_o be_v find_v but_o that_o he_o who_o be_v mighty_o advance_v in_o virtue_n and_o possess_v many_o gift_n of_o god_n and_o be_v real_o very_o great_a in_o his_o divine_a presence_n shall_v yet_o hold_v himself_o for_o little_a this_o indeed_o be_v great_a humility_n and_o worth_a the_o wonder_v at_o saint_n bernard_n say_v a_o great_a and_o rare_a virtue_n it_o be_v that_o a_o man_n shall_v do_v great_a thing_n and_o yet_o not_o hold_v himself_o for_o great_a that_o other_o shall_v evident_o see_v his_o sanctity_n and_o yet_o that_o it_o shall_v lie_v bid_v from_o he_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v admirable_a in_o the_o eye_n of_o other_o and_o contemptible_a in_o his_o own_o i_o esteem_v this_o more_o siath_v he_o than_o all_o the_o other_o virtue_n which_o he_o can_v have_v this_o humility_n be_v find_v after_o a_o most_o perfect_a manner_n in_o the_o most_o bless_a virgin_n who_o know_v that_o she_o be_v choose_v for_o the_o mother_n of_o god_n do_v

so_o great_a a_o honour_n and_o for_o so_o high_a a_o dignity_n as_o to_o be_v his_o mother_n she_o call_v herself_o his_o slave_n and_o be_v celebrate_v by_o the_o mouth_n of_o saint_n elizabeth_n for_o bless_a among_o all_o woman_n she_o ascribe_v not_o to_o herself_o any_o glory_n for_o all_o these_o greatness_n which_o be_v in_o she_o but_o she_o give_v they_o all_o back_n again_o to_o god_n
