O Teach me to love to be concealed and little esteem'd; let me be truly humbled, and heartily ashamed of my sin and folly: teach me to bear reproaches evenly, for I have deserved them; to refuse all honours done unto me, because I have not deserved them; to return all to thee, for it is thine alone; to suffer reproof thankful∣ly, to amend all my faults speedily: and do thou invest my Soul with the humble robe of my meek Master and Saviour Je∣sus; and when I have humbly, patiently, charitably and diligently served thee, change this robe into the shining gar∣ment of immortality, my confusion into glory, my folly to perfect knowledge, my weaknesses and dishonours to the strength and beauties of the Sons of God.
