1. He liveth in another. He is wise in another. He is righteous in another. He is strong in another. 2. He is very low in humility, but very high in hope. He knows he is undeserving of the least mercy, yet he expects the greatest. 3. He is in the world, but not of the world; in the world as a pilgrim, but his conversation above. 4. He is meek, but vehement; meek in his own cause, yet vehement in the cause of God, as Moses, who was dead to affronts, deaf to reproaches, and blind to injuries. He will comply with anything that is civil, but with nothing that is sinful. He will stoop to the necessities of the meanest, but will not yield to the sinful humors of the greatest. 5. He works his own salvation with fear and trembling. He works as if he were to live here always, yet works as if he were to die to-morrow. 6. When he is weak, then he is strong. When he is the most sensible of his own weakness, and most dependent on Christ's strength, then he stands the safest. 7. When he is the most vile in his own eyes, he is the most glorious in the eyes of God. When Job abhorred himself, then God raised him. When the centurion thought himself the most unworthy, Christ said, “I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.” 8. He is content in this world, yet longs and prays for a better.
