Use 2. of Trial. Whether we are in Covenant with God. There are three Characters.
1. God's Covenant People are an humble People, 1 Pet. 5.5. [Greek or Hebrew], be ye clothed with humility. God's People esteem of others better then themselves; they shrink into nothing in their own thoughts, Phil. 2.3. David cries out, I am a worm, and no man, Psal. 22.6. though a Saint, though a King, yet a Worm.
