O Man,* 1.1 I much wonder why thou shouldest be so proud, considering thy beginning which is but dust, the unprofitablest earth that is: For clay is good for something, Sand is good for something, Marle, Lime Coal, Dung and Ashes good for something; yea, Earth, Gravel, Stones or Metals, good for somthing; but dust is profitable for nothing, but hurtfull many wayes: Yet such is thy Almighty power, O Lord, that thou hast created light out of
darknesse, the world out of nothing, and man from the dust of the ground which was nothing, making him Lord of all creatures, and more excellent than all the works of thy hands.
* 1.2Good Lord, there was never proud person that pleased thee; Let me that am but dust have no proud thought or high look, but with Mary humble my self before thee;* 1.3 with Abraham acknowledge my base be∣ginning; with the Cana∣anite woman, my unwor∣thiness; with David my vileness; with Job my mi∣sery, and with Paul my In∣firmity, through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
The proud's looking-glasse.
