Luke18:14
14 I tell you, This manwent down to his house justified rather then the other:for every one that exalteth himself, shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself, shall be exalted.
Iustifyed, [non-Latin text not transcribed], we Translate rather than the other, not that the other was at all justifyed by God, the other was justified by himself only, and those of his party. The Publican was justified by God. It followeth, For every one that exalteth himself shall be abased, &c. It is another of our Saviours Sentences often made use of by him, Matth. 23.12. and in this Gospel, Chap. 14.11. It is applyed to the ordinary practice of Men, but hear to God in the ways of his Providence, he resisteth the Proud, and gives Grace to the Humble. The Blessed Virgin magnifieth God on this account, Chap. 1.51, 52.
