I will not enlarge my self in the point of humiliation; but speak a little because this is the day of humiliation, the occasion is for humiliation,1 all this is to bring us low, to humble […], to make us know our selves. Without humiliation Christ will never ⟨p. 282⟩be sweet unto us, and the benefit of health, &c. will never be precious to us. I mean by humiliation when God humbles us, and we humble our selves, when we join with God, when Gods humbling of us, and our humbling of our selves go together, then mercy is sweet, and favour and protection is sweet; when God pours his judgements on others, and spares us.
