Proverbs16:19
Verſ. 19. Better it is to bee of an humble spirit] An humble man is worth his weight in gold; hee hath far more comfort in his loſſes, than proud Giants have in their rapines and robberies. Truth it is, that meekneſs of ſpirit commonly draws on injuries. A Crow will pull wooll from a Sheeps ſide, ſhee durſt not do ſo to a Wolf or Maſtiff. Howbeit it is much better to ſuffer wrong than to do it, to bee patient, than to bee inſolent, to bee lowly in heart, and low of port, than to enjoy the pleaſures or treaſures of ſin for a ſeaſon.
