Phil. Right well neighbours. Look ye do now therefore according to your knowledge. 1Furthermore what Humility was this in y• holy Ghost, to come down so manifestly upon the Apostles of Christ at the feast of Pentecost? to replenish them with all gifts of grace & to inspire into them the knowledge of so many tongues? was not this a wonderful token of Humility? Doth not that most holy spirit, even at this day vouchsafe ⟨image 24⟩also to dwell in the hearts of the faithful,2 as S. Paul witnesseth Do not ye know, saith he, that ye are the Temple of God, & the spirit of God dwelleth in you? Again do ye not know that your members are the Temple of the holy Ghost, which is in you, whom ye have of god, and ye are not of your selves? Seeing than that this virtue Humility was first used & practised of God, & so still remaineth, how can it otherwise than be a thing of great excellency?
