Let us endeavour to obtaine humilitie
with Ruth; a vertue of most worth, and
yet which costeth least to keepe: Yet not∣withstanding,
it is both lawfull and need∣full
for us to know our owne worth, and
to take an exact survey of those Graces
which God hath bestowed upon us. First,
that we may know thereby the better to
proportion our thanks to God: Secondly,
that we may know how much good the
Church and Common-wealth expecteth
to be performed by us. And lastly, that
if any should basely insult and domineer
over us, we may in humilitie stand upon
descriptionPage 180
the lawfull justification of our selves, and
our owne sufficiencie, as S. Paul did a∣gainst
the false Apostles at Corinth; al∣wayes
provided, that we give God the
glory, and professe our selves to be but
unprofitable servants.
