Secondly. Every Godly, Gracious man, that lives under the Gospel, Is of a spirit, and disposition contrary to the world. This is the disposition of the world, To write an I upon what they do. Ye know what that proud King said, Have not I built this great Babel,1 for the honour of my Majesty? have not I built it? And ye know what the Legal-Pharisee said, Lord, I thank thee, that I am not as other men; no Extortioner, and the like: I fast, I pray, I give alms. He writes an I upon what he does. Now the spirit of a Believer is contrary; and though a Believer say, I pray, yet he will bite that I in again, and he will ⟨p. 54⟩say, yet not I, but the grace of God within me. He is of a disposition contrary unto that of the world, and therefore cannot write an I upon what he does.
