Passively,1 so 'tis he that is cast down and laid low by affliction. Thus the humble person is the same with the humbled person; affliction is an humiliation, however the afflicted take it or carry it; and usually it makes men humble, at least in appearance and lowly in their looks, whereas in prosperity men lift up their eyes usually and look softly, as if they would reach heaven with their heads, while their hearts are far from it. But affliction makes men stoop. We may understand the Text of a person who is humble when humbled, who stoops down quietly to take up and bear his cross, and doth not in stoutness slight it, or in wantonness play with it, but is serious under the rebukes of God; He shall save the humble person.
