this_o be_v that_o hold_v himself_o in_o no_o account_v at_o all_o whereof_o we_o be_v ever_o talk_v and_o hear_v but_o o_o that_o we_o may_v find_v it_o once_o for_o all_o in_o our_o very_a heart_n that_o we_o may_v undersâ—â—â—d_v and_o feel_v in_o very_a truth_n and_o practical_o as_o a_o man_n who_o see_v thing_n with_o his_o eye_n and_o touch_n and_o feel_v they_o with_o his_o hand_n that_o for_o as_o much_o as_o be_v on_o our_o part_n we_o neither_o have_v any_o thing_n but_o misery_n nor_o can_v do_v any_o thing_n but_o commit_v sin_n and_o that_o all_o the_o good_a which_o we_o

say_v all_o this_o you_o yet_o understand_v not_o full_o the_o perfection_n of_o this_o degree_n of_o humility_n do_v not_o wonder_v at_o it_o for_o this_o be_v a_o very_a high_a piece_n of_o

belong_v to_o any_o virtue_n be_v understand_v by_o all_o the_o world_n but_o such_o as_o be_v extraordinary_a and_o choice_n and_o nice_a and_o high_a can_v only_o be_v comprehend_v by_o such_o as_o be_v eminent_a and_o full_o possess_v of_o that_o virtue_n and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o s._n laurentius_n justinianus_n say_v namely_o that_o no_o man_n know_v well_o what_o humility_n be_v but_o he_o who_o have_v receive_v the_o gift_n of_o be_v humble_a from_o god_n and_o from_o hence_o it_o alsoe_o grow_v that_o in_o regard_n the_o saint_n be_v endue_v with_o such_o a_o most_o profound_a humility_n that_o they_o think_v and_o say_v such_o thing_n of_o themselves_o that_o we_o who_o fall_v so_o far_o short_a of_o they_o can_v understand_v exact_o what_o they_o say_v but_o their_o speech_n seem_v exaggeration_n as_o namely_o that_o they_o be_v the_o great_a sinner_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o the_o like_a whereof_o i_o will_v speak_v ear_n long_o but_o if_o we_o can_v say_v or_o think_v such_o thing_n as_o they_o no_o nor_o even_o understand_v they_o it_o be_v because_o we_o have_v not_o arrive_v to_o so_o great_a humility_n as_o they_o be_v and_o so_o we_o understand_v not_o the_o curious_a and_o subtle_a part_n of_o this_o faculty_n procure_v you_o to_o be_v humble_a and_o to_o grow_v up_o in_o this_o science_n and_o to_o profitt_a therein_o more_o and_o more_o and_o then_o you_o will_v understand_v how_o such_o thing_n as_o those_o may_v be_v say_v with_o truth_n the_o three_o degree_n of_o humility_n be_v further_o declare_v and_o how_o it_o

understand_v this_o three_o degree_n of_o humility_n and_o may_v ground_v ourselves_o well_o therein_o it_o will_v be_v necessary_a for_o we_o to_o go_v back_o and_o take_v up_o the_o matter_n near_o
