For HUMILITY.
O Thou High and Lofty one, that inhabitest Eternity, yet art pleased to dwell with the humble spirit, pour into my heart, I beseech thee, that excellent grace of Humility, which may utterly work out all those vain conceits I have of my self; Lord convince me powerfully of my own wretchedness, make me to see that I am miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked, and not onely dust, but sin, that so in all thy dispensations towards me I may lay my hand upon my mouth, and heartily acknowledge that I am less then the least of thy mercies, and greater then the greatest of thy Judge∣ments. And, O Lord, grant me not onely to walk humbly with my God, but even with men also, that I may not onely submit my self to thy rebukes, but even to those of my fel∣low Christians, and with meekness receive and obey their admonitions. And make me so to behave my self towards all, that I never do any thing through strife or vain-glory; and to that end grant, that in lowliness of mind I may esteem every other man better then my self, and be willing that others should esteem them so also; that I neither nourish any high opinion of my self, nor covet one among o∣thers,
