11. He said, howsoever he would not deny duties to any inferior, superior, or equal;¹ yet none ever went to his heart with inestimate love, (so as he made an inward account of him) but such as had some feeling of sin, and some grief for inward corruption:² For he could not see how otherwise men had any thing but in Knowledge. Nay, he thought where profession of the Gospel was severed from practise and conversation, that their knowledge might be more perilous then profitable. And among other gifts of GOD, he thought Humility to be a virtue, most beseeming the Gospel and Christianity, which did appear in this, in that hypocrisy did often shelter³ it self under it, which it would doubtless never do, were it not a virtue most commendable.⁴

Nay, hee thought where profession of the Gospell was seuered from practise and conuersation, that their knowledge might bee more perillous then profitable. And among other giftes of GOD, hee thought Humilitie to bee a vertue, most beseeming the Gospell and Christianitie, which did appeare in this, in that hypocrisie did often shelter³ it selfe vnder it, which it would doubtlesse neuer doe, were it not a vertue most commendable.⁴
