James4:10

10 Humble your selves in the sight of the Lord , and he shall lift you up .

The same Duty pressed again only with respect to the more internal part of it, the Debasement of the Heart, lest they should rest too much in the outward Exercises before-mentioned. They did lift up themselves through Pride and Emulation, and he shews them the best way to the truest Exaltation, viz. Humility, Matth. 23.12. Prov. 15.33. and 18.1[illegible: 1 letter].

Sincerely, as in the presence of the Searcher of Hearts.

As to your outward state and Enjoiments so far as God sees good for you; but however, in Grace here, and Glory hereafter, Luke 14.11.

Marginal references: Luke 18.14. 1 Pet. 5.6.
