§. 90. Direct. 9. Look to the holy Angels that condescend to minister for man; and think on the blessed 1souls with God, how far they are from being proud; And remember if ever thou come to Heaven how far thou wilt he from pride thy self. Such a sight as Isaiah's would take do•n pride, Isa. 6. 1, 2, 3. I saw the Lord sitting upon a Throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the Temple: Above it stood the Seraphims: Each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he fled (signifying, Humility, Purity and obedience) And one cried unto another and said, Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord of Hosts: His Glory is the fullness of the whole earth.] So Rev. 4. 8. and vers. 10. The Elders f•ll down, and •ast down their Crowns before him that sitteth on the Throne. Look up to Heaven and you'll abhor your pride.
