Humility Is A Necessary Veil

As The Eye Of The Body Once Put Out, Can Never Be Restored By The Creature's Art, So Neither Can The Spiritual Eye Lost By Adam's Sin Be Restored By The Teaching Of Men Or Angels. It Is One Of The Diseases Which Christ Came To Cure.

Humility Is A Necessary Veil To All Other Graces.

How Can God Stoop Lower Than To Come And Dwell With A Poor Humble Soul? Which Is More Than If He Had Said, Such A One Should Dwell With Him; For A Beggar To Live At Court Is Not So Much As The King To Dwell With Him In His Cottage.

The Regenerating Spirit Is Compared To The Wind. His First Attempts On The Soul May Be So Secret That The Creature Knows Not Whence They Come, Or Whither They Tend; But, Before He Hath Done, The Sound Will Be Heard Throughout The Soul.

Never Was A Faithful Prayer Lost. Some Prayers Have A Longer Voyage Than Others, But Then They Return With Their Richer Lading At Last, So That The Praying Soul Is A Gainer By Waiting For An Answer.
