An humble man giveth God all the glory, and 1him that honoureth me (saith GOD) I will honour. Now an humble man doth as Joab did. Joab would not take the victory to himself, but sent for David; and it was the deepest policy that ever Joab used: and so the Apostles, Acts 3. know that JESUS hath 2made this man whole: and it is the humble mans wisdom, in all actions not to set themselves up, but to say no matter how I be regarded, so God be glorified; and God will honour such: therefore CHRIST in his prayer makes this a ground of being glorified by God, John 17. I have glorified thee on 3earth; now father glorify me. And so God will deal with his Saints in a proportion.
