Answ. 1. An humble soul is emptied of all swelling thoughts of himself: Bernard calls Humility a Self-annihilation, Job 22. 29. Thou wilt save the humble. In the Hebrew it is, Him that is of low *eyes. An humble man ⟨p. 105⟩hath lower thoughts of himself than others can have of* him: David, though a King, yet looked upon himself as a worm, Psal. 22. 6. I am a worm, and no man. Bradford a Martyr, yet subscribes himself a sinner, Job 10. 15. If I am righteous, I will not lift up my head: Like the Violet, a sweet flower, but hangs down the head.
