4 Grow downward in humility, and inward in the knowledge of your selves; and above all, maintain a constant abhorrence and jealousy of the sin of pride: grow in humility, and fly from man: keep a constant apprehension of your unworthiness and weakness, of the odiousness and danger of sin, of spiritual pride (so called, because exercised about spiritual things:) of being puffed up with pride of any thing in your selves, of being too confident in your selves: be low in your own, and expect not, nor desire others good thoughts of you. Humility lies not in humility of opinion, of speech, garb, or carriage: but in opposition to high thoughts of our own parts; gifts, godliness, when we think of these above their worth: still remember, Psal. 25. Prov. 26.19. Isa. 57.15. John 20.29. as ever you would grow in grace and be confirmed Christians, keep a low esteem of your selves, be mean in your own eyes, be content to be mean in others, and hearken not to secret flatterers, that would puff you up. Take heed of any thing that would puff you up, &c.
