Now when as we know what the righteousness of God is, Let us then come unto our selves, and we shall find in us nothing else but iniquity: when we shall consider of the Wisdom of God, we shall see that all whatsoever we thought too be good reason, to be nothing else but vanity and folly. So then, when men do wonder and look at the brightness of God, they then learn that they are no better but dung and filthy stench, are even angry and displeased with them selves, and greatly ashamed of their own filthiness. See then, that humility proceedeth from faith. And therefore David saith, that the proud, to wit, the wicked and Infidels imagined a lye against him. Let us then know, that pride is engendered of men, and that they bring it with them into the world so soon as they are borne, that it groweth and increaseth unto full age, until such time as God correcteth it by his holy spirit and by Faith. And so when as we shall see the contemners of God, and the wicked who know not what it is too be ordered by GOD, when we shall see them, I say, thus outrage: let us not think it strange, seeing it is the course of nature.
Nowe when as wee knowe what the righteousnesse of God is, Let vs then come vnto our selues, and wee shall finde in vs nothing else but iniquitie: when wee shall consider of the Wisedome of God, we shall see that all whatsoeuer we thought too be good reason, to be nothing else but vanitie and follie. So then, when men doe wonder and looke at the brightnesse of God, they then learne that they are no better but doung and filthy stench, are euen angry and displeased with them selues, and greately ashamed of their owne filthynesse. See then, that humilitie proceedeth from faith. And therefore Dauid sayth, that the proude, to witte, the wicked and Infidels imagined a lye against him. Let vs then knowe, that pryde is ingendred of men, and that they bringe it with them into the worlde so soone as they are borne, that it groweth and increaseth vnto ful age, vntill such time as God correcteth it by his holy spirit and by Fayth. And so when as wee shall see the contemners of God, and the wicked who knowe not what it is too be ordered by GOD, when wee shall see them, I say, thus outrage: let vs not think it straunge, seeing it is the course of nature.
