The pattern of wholesome words. Or a collection of such truths as are of necessity to be believed unto salvation separated out of the body of all theology made evident by infallible plain proofs of Scripture. And withal, the several uses such principles should be put to, are abundantly showed. A project much desired, and of singular use for all sorts of Christians. By N.

2. The second is humility: the same mind should be in us, that was in Christ Jesus; who being equal with God, was content for our sakes to make himself of no reputation, taking upon him the form of a servant; we should in lowliness of mind each esteem others better then ⟨p. 269⟩themselves, doing nothing through strife or vain-glory, looking not on our own things, but every one also on the things of others, making our selves equal to them of the lower sort, being of one accord, of one mind.
