our_o own_o emptiness_n alsufficiency_n together_o with_o a_o apprehension_n of_o that_o alsufficiency_n that_o be_v in_o god_n which_o we_o also_o may_v see_v in_o the_o prodigal_n when_o he_o say_v i_o shall_v starve_v and_o die_v if_o i_o stay_v here_o but_o in_o my_o father_n house_n be_v bread_n enough_o he_o look_v to_o that_o alsufficient_a fullness_n that_o be_v in_o god_n to_o supply_v his_o want_n the_o creature_n whilst_o it_o find_v any_o thing_n in_o itself_o it_o will_v stand_v upon_o its_o own_o bottom_n and_o not_o be_v humble_v but_o when_o it_o find_v nothing_o in_o its_o

from_o their_o own_o bottom_n till_o they_o see_v another_o bottom_n to_o stand_v upon_o 3_o there_o must_v be_v a_o sense_n of_o a_o man_n own_o sinfulness_n righteousness_n and_o the_o lord_n

the_o difference_n betwixt_o these_o two_o work_n or_o part_n of_o humiliation_n that_o we_o may_v matter_n further_o understand_v what_o it_o be_v to_o humble_v ourselves_o and_o first_o they_o

principal_o as_o it_o have_v relation_n to_o punishment_n it_o be_v guilt_n work_v on_o he_o he_o be_v not_o humble_v for_o sin_n as_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o god_n and_o his_o holiness_n but_o as_o contrary_a to_o himself_o and_o his_o own_o good_a and_o thus_o we_o be_v not_o humble_v till_o we_o come_v to_o love_n god_n and_o to_o have_v a_o light_n discover_v the_o holiness_n and_o purity_n of_o his_o nature_n which_o one_o that_o be_v save_o humble_v have_v wrought_v in_o he_o they_o differ_v in_o their_o ground_n and_o principle_n whence_o they_o arise_v ground_n the_o first_o arise_v but_o from_o self-love_n and_o be_v but_o a_o work_n of_o nature_n though_o thus_o far_o a_o work_n of_o god_n to_o stir_v up_o self-love_n by_o the_o sense_n of_o misery_n and_o to_o awaken_v it_o but_o so_o as_o any_o unreasonable_a creature_n if_o in_o danger_n use_v to_o be_v sensible_a of_o it_o and_o what_o wonder_n then_o be_v it_o for_o a_o man_n when_o he_o begin_v to_o have_v some_o sense_n of_o hell_n and_o death_n let_v into_o his_o conscience_n to_o be_v wound_v and_o apprehensive_a of_o it_o but_o the_o other_o arise_v from_o the_o love_n of_o god_n kindle_v in_o the_o
