WIlte thou attayne to good works? Se thou doe not anie thing for the fauour of men, but that the same eye might prayse thee which neuer sleepeth. For if thou couet to be praysed of mē, thou makest thy selfe vnwor∣thie to be extolled of the Lord. Both hurteth, both are perni∣cious in good worke, if anie man haue a respect to humain glorie, and thinketh loftily of him selfe. What other I pray
thee shalt thou be called then a miserable Miser. This one∣ly pernitious affection made ye Publican worsse than ye Pha∣risie. What so euer therefore good workes thou doest, al∣wayes haue ye saying of Christ to his Disciples in thy minde. When you haue done all that euer you can, say we are vn∣profitable seruants.
