to_o ourselves_o but_o return_v the_o whole_a back_n to_o god_n it_o be_v not_o without_o great_a mystery_n that_o christ_n our_o saviour_n when_o he_o appear_v to_o his_o disciple_n upon_o the_o day_n of_o his_o glorious_a ascension_n reprove_v they_o first_o for_o their_o incredulity_n and_o hardness_n of_o heart_n and_o command_v they_o afterward_o to_o go_v and_o preach_v the_o gospel_n throughout_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o give_v they_o power_n to_o work_v many_o and_o mighty_a miracle_n for_o he_o give_v we_o thereby_o to_o understand_v that_o he_o who_o be_v to_o be_v exalt_v to_o the_o do_v of_o great_a thing_n have_v need_n to_o be_v humble_v first_o and_o to_o be_v abase_v in_o himself_o and_o to_o have_v a_o true_a knowledge_n of_o his_o own_o faculty_n and_o misery_n that_o so_o though_o afterward_o he_o come_v to_o great_a perfection_n he_o may_v yet_o remain_v still_o entire_a in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o himself_o and_o stick_v fast_o to_o the_o understanding_n of_o his_o own_o baseness_n without_o attribute_v any_o other_o thing_n to_o himself_o then_o unworthiness_n theodoret_n to_o this_o purpose_n note_n that_o god_n resolve_v to_o choose_v moses_n for_o their_o captain_n and_o conductor_n of_o his_o people_n and_o to_o work_v by_o his_o mean_n such_o wondrous_a and_o admirable_a thing_n as_o he_o resolve_v to_o let_v the_o world_n see_v think_v fit_a for_o the_o cause_n aforesaid_a that_o first_o that_o very_a hand_n wherewith_o he_o be_v to_o divide_v the_o red_a sea_n and_o effect_v other_o thing_n so_o very_o strange_a be_v first_o put_v into_o his_o bosom_n shall_v be_v then_o draw_v forth_o and_o see_v by_o himself_o to_o be_v full_a of_o leprosy_n a_o second_o reason_n for_o which_o we_o stand_v in_o more_o particular_a necessity_n of_o humility_n be_v to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o may_v gather_v fruit_n in_o those_o very_a ministery_n wherein_o we_o be_v employ_v so_o that_o humility_n be_v necessary_a for_o we_o not_o only_o in_o regard_n of_o our_o own_o improvement_n lest_o otherwise_o we_o shall_v grow_v vain_a and_o proud_a and_o so_o cast_v away_o ourselves_o but_o beside_o for_o the_o gain_n of_o our_o neighhour_n and_o the_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n in_o their_o soul_n one_o of_o the_o most_o principal_a mean_n towards_o this_o end_n be_v humility_n and_o that_o we_o distrust_v ourselves_o and_o that_o we_o rely_v not_o upon_o our_o own_o industry_n or_o prudence_n or_o other_o part_n but_o that_o we_o place_v all_o our_o confidence_n in_o god_n and_o ascribe_v and_o refer_v all_o to_o he_o according_a to_o that_o of_o the_o wise_a man_n put_v your_o confidence_n in_o god_n with_o your_o whole_a heart_n and_o rely_v not_o upon_o your_o own_o prudence_n and_o the_o reason_n hereof_o be_v as_o afterward_o i_o shall_v declare_v more_o at_o large_a because_o when_o through_o distrust_n of_o ourselves_o we_o place_v all_o our_o confidence_n in_o god_n we_o ascribe_v it_o all_o to_o he_o and_o put_v the_o whole_a business_n to_o his_o account_n whereby_o we_o oblige_v he_o much_o to_o take_v care_n thereof_o o_o lord_n dispatch_v thy_o own_o business_n the_o conversion_n of_o soul_n be_v thou_o and_o not_o we_o alas_o what_o power_n can_v we_o have_v to_o save_v foul_n but_o now_o when_o we_o be_v confident_a in_o the_o mean_v we_o use_v and_o in_o the_o discourse_n which_o we_o be_v able_a to_o make_v we_o bring_v ourselves_o to_o be_v party_n to_o the_o business_n and_o attribute_n much_o to_o ourselves_o and_o all_o that_o we_o do_v we_o take_v from_o almighty_a god_n they_o be_v like_o two_o balance_n for_o look_v how_o much_o the_o one_o rise_v so_o much_o the_o other_o will_v be_v sure_a to_o fall_v as_o much_o as_o we_o attribute_v to_o ourselves_o so_o much_o we_o take_v from_o god_n and_o run_v away_o with_o the_o glory_n and_o honour_n which_o be_v only_o he_o and_o thus_o he_o come_v to_o permit_v that_o no_o effect_n be_v wrought_v and_o i_o pray_v god_n that_o this_o be_v not_o sometime_o the_o cause_n why_o we_o do_v our_o neighbour_n no_o more_o good_a we_o read_v of_o many_o preacher_n in_o former_a time_n and_o remember_v some_o of_o our_o own_o time_n who_o though_o they_o be_v not_o very_o learned_a man_n no_o nor_o very_o eloquent_a yet_o by_o their_o preach_v catechise_n and_o private_a communication_n in_o a_o humble_a and_o low_a way_n have_v

saint_n paul_n say_v they_o be_v distrustful_a of_o themselves_o and_o place_v all_o their_o confidence_n in_o god_n and_o so_o god_n give_v strength_n &_o spirit_n to_o their_o word_n which_o seem_v even_o to_o d●rt_v burn_a slame_n into_o the_o heart_n of_o their_o hearer_n and_o now_o i_o know_v not_o whether_o the_o reason_n why_o we_o produce_v not_o at_o this_o day_n so_o great_a fruit_n be_v not_o because_o we_o stick_v much_o close_o to_o the_o opinion_n of_o our_o own_o prudence_n &_o because_o we_o rest_v and_o rely_v much_o upon_o our_o own_o mean_n of_o persuasion_n and_o our_o
