Moses his self-denial delivered in a treatise upon Hebrews 11, the 24. verseMoses his self-denyall delivered in a treatise upon Hebrewes 11, the 24. verse

Secondly,¹ where suffering troubles come from a Natural Root, the Soul is not conscious to its self of its own weakness; it knows not the power of corruption in the heart, it understands not how self may be sought, in denying ones self: such a one is not acquainted with the secret distempers, those inward windings and turnings of his own heart; those depths, those wiles, those devices of Satan, and of ⟨p. 218⟩his own spirit: he seeth not need of a higher Principle, to enable him to any gracious manner of self-denial; he looks at it, but as a thing within his own reach; he is not fearful, and jealous of himself. But it is otherwise, where self-denial comes from Faith; the business and work of Faith, is the getting up on high, and fetching strength from on high, knowing, that the Soul in its self hath nothing but corruption and weakness.

Secondly,¹ where suffering troubles come from a Naturall Root, the Soule is not conscious to its selfe of its owne weakenesse; it knowes not the power of corruption in the heart, it understands not how selfe may be sought, in denying ones selfe: such a one is not acquainted with the secret distempers, those inward windings and turnings of his owne heart; those depths, those wiles, those devices of Satan, and of ⟨p. 218⟩his owne spirit: he seeth not need of a higher Principle, to enable him to any gracious manner of selfe-denyall; he lookes at it, but as a thing within his owne reach; he is not fearefull, and jealous of himselfe. But it is otherwise, where selfe-denyall comes from Faith; the businesse and worke of Faith, is the getting up on high, and fetching strength from on high, knowing, that the Soule in its selfe hath nothing but corruption and weakenesse.
