And labour to be humble and low in all the powers of our souls;5 to have humble judgements, to think of our selves as God thinks of us. God thinks of us as sinners, God and Christ think of us that we are such as must deny all in us before we be fit for Heaven. Let us judge of our selves as he that must be our judge doth and will judge of us ere long, labour to have low judgements of our selves, what we are in our selves, empty of all good, defiled with all ill.

And this will breed poverty of spirit in our judgements. Then let us labour for Humility in our affections, to bring our selves more to God, to stoop to him in fear and reverence. And Humility in our obedience and conversations to God and to men every way, let Humility spread it self over all the parts and powers of the soul and body, and over our whole lives, I cannot stand further upon that.
