pBernard teacheth man a three-fold consideration of himselfe: Quid, quis, qualis fit. What by nature, who in person, what kind of man in conversation. Which particulars when he casteth up, he shall find in sum; Himself a miserable sinner. Si cupis bonus fieri, primùm crede quòd malus fis. If thou wouldest be good, first know that thou art evil. Chrysostom amplifies this self knowledge, by teaching a man to consider; what he is in himself, dust 2and ashes: what is within him; much wickedness: what above him, an offended Justice: what below him, a burning lake: what against him, Satan and sin: what before him, vain pleasure: what behind him, infallible death.
