First, Where humour and conceited ¹singularity prevails with men, there is no evenness, no constancy in their ways, no proportion of one thing with another in their course; they are singular and humorous in some odd foolish things; but in other things where they have as much reason to be singular, they do as ⟨p. 160⟩others do; But in Gods people you shall see an evenness, constancy, and proportion in the course of their lives; that which makes them singular in one thing, makes them so in all other of the same nature; They are not as humorous people who have their fits, and take them out of their fits, they are other men, they are as different from themselves, as they are from other men; But where the Spirit of God guides, though there be more difference from other men, yet there is less difference from themselves.
