THou, O God, who givest grace to the humble, do something also for the proud man; make me humble and obedient. Take from me the spirit of pride and hautiness, ambition and self∣flattery, confidence and gaiety: teach me to think well, and to expound all things fairly of my brother, to love his worthi∣ness, to delight in his praises, to excuse his errours, to give thee thanks for his graces, to rejoyce in all the good that he receives, and ever to believe and speak better things of him than of my self.
