Lastly, if we would have the holy Ghost continually ⟨p. 23⟩working in us with great efficacy, let us labour evermore to keep an humble and broken heart, and beware of pride, and all vain conceit of our selves, as the very rock against which the ship wherein the Spirit is carried, doth, as it were, make shipwreck: for God resisteth the proud, 1and giveth grace to the humble. If one have a haughty heart, though there be no body else that seeks his overthrow, the Lord will bring him down: but if any have a meek and lowly heart, there is a palace for the Lord himself, 2who will dwell with him that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to give life to them that are of a broken heart.
Lastly, if we would haue the holy Ghost continually ⟨p. 23⟩working in vs with great efficacie, let vs labour euermore to keepe an humble and broken heart, and beware of pride, and all vaine conceipt of our selues, as the very rocke against which the ship wherein the Spirit is carried, doth, as it were, make shipwracke: for God resisteth the proud, 1and giueth grace to the humble. If one haue a hauty heart, though there be no body else that seekes his ouerthrow, the Lord will bring him downe: but if any haue a meeke and lowly heart, there is a palace for the Lord himselfe, 2who will dwell with him that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to reuiue the spirit of the humble, and to giue life to them that are of a broken heart.
