Humility

By Leighton

Humility. As it is with respect to all graces, so particularly as to this clothing of humility; though it makes least show, yet come near, and you will see it both rich and comely; and though it hides other graces, yet when they do appear under it, as sometimes they will, a little glance of them so makes them much more esteemed. Rebecca's beauty and her jewels were covered with a veil; but when they did appear, the veil set off and commended them, though at a distance it hid them.—Leighton.
