Let nothing (saith the Apostle) be done* 1.1 through contention, or vaine glory, but in meekenesse of minde, let euery man esteeme other better then himselfe.
For, like as lowlines of hart, and meeke∣nes* 1.2 of minde, maketh a man highly in fa∣uour with God; so strife, vaine-glory, and contention, procureth hatred and disdaine amongst men.
And, like as pride sleyeth loue, prouo∣keth disdaine, kindleth malice, confoun∣deth* 1.3 iustice, and subuer••eth Weales pub∣lique; euen so meekenes, gentlenes, or hu∣militie, doe stirre vp affection, augment beneuolence, intend charitie, support good equitie, and preserue in peace & concorde, both Countries and Common-weales.
