which_o be_v this_o whether_o this_o humiliation_n must_v be_v in_o all_o man_n 4._o as_o well_o in_o those_o which_o be_v well_o educate_v and_o have_v fall_v into_o no_o gross_a sin_n as_o in_o other_o i_o answer_v answ._n yes_o it_o must_v be_v in_o all_o even_o this_o great_a humiliation_n here_o speak_v of_o else_o let_v they_o go_v never_o so_o far_o they_o will_v in_o the_o end_n fall_v away_o and_o that_o be_v the_o very_a reason_n why_o so_o many_o professor_n that_o have_v give_v up_o their_o name_n to_o follow_v christ_n fall_v away_o because_o they_o be_v never_o humble_v sound_o for_o sin_n yet_o there_o be_v this_o difference_n betwixt_o the_o humiliation_n of_o one_o bring_v up_o well_o sinner_n and_o a_o gross_a sinner_n 1._o the_o filth_n of_o sin_n be_v not_o so_o sudden_o reveal_v to_o those_o that_o have_v be_v well_o bring_v up_o and_o have_v some_o knowledge_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v not_o so_o sudden_o smite_v as_o to_o those_o that_o live_v in_o ignorance_n all_o their_o life_n long_o those_o that_o have_v a_o light_n on_o the_o sudden_a it_o present_o amaze_v they_o even_o so_o god_n strike_v down_o sudden_o the_o gross_a sinner_n and_o amaze_v he_o with_o a_o more_o violent_a sorrow_n and_o humiliation_n than_o he_o do_v the_o other_o 2._o the_o joy_n be_v not_o so_o sudden_a nor_o flash_a nor_o sensible_a in_o he_o that_o have_v more_o knowledge_n the_o medicine_n be_v know_v to_o he_o as_o soon_o as_o the_o wound_n he_o know_v christ_n a_o saviour_n offer_v up_o for_o all_o that_o be_v wound_v for_o sin_n and_o so_o as_o soon_o as_o he_o feel_v the_o wound_n he_o apply_v the_o medicine_n so_o be_v not_o his_o trouble_n so_o irksome_a neither_o be_v deliver_v have_v he_o such_o sensible_a joy_n for_o instance_n suppose_v a_o man_n be_v in_o the_o way_n wound_v among_o thief_n and_o almost_o kill_v so_o that_o he_o see_v no_o mean_n of_o life_n if_o one_o a_o friend_n of_o he_o on_o the_o sudden_a shall_v step_v forth_o and_o help_v he_o he_o will_v be_v more_o sensible_a of_o it_o than_o such_o a_o one_o as_o know_v before_o he_o shall_v be_v rob_v get_v company_n to_o go_v with_o he_o and_o so_o escape_v the_o danger_n and_o so_o much_o for_o the_o four_o question_n the_o five_o question_n be_v this_o 5._o what_o be_v the_o least_o degree_n of_o humiliation_n that_o must_v be_v in_o one_o that_o will_v be_v save_v i_o answer_v it_o be_v so_o much_o as_o will_v bring_v we_o home_o to_o christ_n answ._n that_o be_v so_o much_o as_o will_v make_v we_o apprehend_v sin_n to_o be_v the_o great_a evil_n in_o the_o world_n good_a and_o christ_n to_o be_v the_o great_a good_a so_o much_o as_o will_v enable_v we_o to_o make_v sin_n our_o chief_a sorrow_n and_o christ_n our_o chief_a joy_n when_o we_o do_v so_o than_o whatsoever_o be_v offer_v we_o neglect_v for_o christ_n and_o prefer_v he_o thence_o be_v it_o that_o the_o church_n be_v say_v to_o rejoice_v in_o christ_n with_o joy_n unspeakable_a and_o glorious_a 1_o pet._n 1._o 8._o for_o when_o we_o apprehend_v sin_n to_o be_v the_o great_a evil_n and_o by_o christ_n to_o beefree_v from_o it_o thing_n we_o must_v needs_o rejoice_v unspeakable_o for_o we_o be_v to_o know_v that_o our_o conversion_n consist_v in_o threething_n 1._o in_o be_v sound_o humble_v so_o that_o we_o see_v sin_n to_o be_v the_o great_a evil_n in_o the_o world_n 2._o in_o steadfast_o lay_v hold_n of_o christ_n and_o believe_v in_o he_o so_o that_o we_o will_v not_o part_v with_o he_o for_o any_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n 3._o in_o a_o newness_n of_o life_n walk_v in_o obedience_n to_o all_o his_o commandment_n and_o therefore_o christ_n say_v john_n 16._o he_o will_v send_v the_o comforter_n to_o convince_v the_o world_n of_o sin_n and_o righteousness_n first_o to_o humble_a for_o sin_n and_o in_o this_o also_o there_o be_v degree_n for_o here_o one_o may_v be_v humble_v more_o than_o another_o and_o so_o thirst_v after_o christ_n more_o but_o the_o more_o we_o be_v humble_v the_o better_a we_o be_v humble_v it_o be_v a_o sign_n god_n have_v a_o great_a work_n to_o do_v by_o we_o when_o we_o be_v thus_o humble_v it_o be_v a_o great_a fault_n in_o we_o that_o we_o be_v prone_a to_o think_v that_o we_o be_v humble_v enough_o and_o that_o our_o humiliation_n at_o our_o first_o conversion_n be_v enough_o no_o belove_v our_o humiliation_n must_v not_o be_v like_o a_o land-flood_n that_o run_v but_o for_o a_o little_a time_n but_o like_o a_o spring_n run_v continual_o for_o all_o degree_n in_o grace_n depend_v on_o god_n mortification_n of_o our_o lust_n etc._n etc._n depend_v on_o the_o degree_n of_o our_o humiliation_n and_o he_o that_o be_v the_o most_o humble_a will_v be_v much_o more_o if_o he_o see_v himself_o to_o be_v the_o better_a and_o so_o much_o for_o the_o five_o question_n the_o six_o question_n be_v this_o 6._o how_o shall_v we_o come_v to_o be_v thus_o humble_v i_o answer_v answ._n by_o the_o law_n for_o though_o the_o whole_a act_n of_o our_o humiliation_n be_v wrought_v by_o the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n humiliation_n rom._n 6._o yet_o that_o humiliation_n which_o i_o now_o urge_v be_v that_o legal_a humiliation_n which_o be_v wrought_v by_o the_o law_n by_o the_o law_n i_o mean_v not_o only_o the_o ten_o commandment_n but_o the_o rectitude_n of_o our_o person_n to_o the_o whole_a scripture_n which_o be_v the_o exposition_n of_o they_o first_o consider_v therefore_o how_o much_o perfection_n god_n word_n require_v than_o how_o short_a you_o come_v of_o that_o

answ._n it_o be_v not_o the_o law_n alone_o that_o must_v humble_v we_o but_o it_o must_v be_v join_v with_o the_o spirit_n of_o bondage_n for_o as_o to_o make_v the_o gospel_n effectual_a there_o be_v require_v the_o spirit_n of_o consolation_n and_o a_o faith_n to_o believe_v it_o so_o to_o make_v the_o law_n effectual_a there_o be_v require_v the_o spirit_n of_o bondage_n and_o faith_n proportionable_a humiliation_n the_o spirit_n of_o bondage_n be_v that_o which_o enlighten_v we_o to_o see_v the_o bondage_n wherein_o we_o be_v by_o reason_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o then_o be_v require_v a_o faith_n to_o believe_v the_o threat_n against_o those_o sin_n for_o faith_n be_v require_v to_o believe_v god_n threat_n as_o well_o as_o his_o promise_n faith_n in_o the_o general_a be_v nothing_o but_o a_o lift_v we_o up_o to_o see_v what_o nature_n can_v for_o when_o the_o unclean_a person_n be_v threaten_v

will_v not_o do_v until_o we_o be_v humble_v 2_o may_v come_v to_o christ_n that_o be_v he_o receive_v he_o and_o believe_v in_o he_o it_o be_v but_o lay_v hold_n of_o he_o when_o he_o see_v he_o
