in
fpiritugdl'poverty
parts, he
fees enough
to
make him humble
,
and bieffed are
inch
poore.
Secondly, Hence
he
thinks
it
not
much
if
he
receive not
li:ch
refpect
and
honour
as
others doe
;
why
though
God
by
kis
providence
order
things fo,
that
others have refhect and
honour,
and many
incourage
tints
in
the world
:
I
have
no
caufe
to envic, nor to be
troubled,I
have
rather
caufe
to
won-
der
at what I
have
;
'tis
not for me
tb
expect
fuch
Incourage-
ments
as
others
have
,
for
I
am
a
poore
creature.
Thus you
know
poore péople
whofe
hearts
are
fubdued
by
their
pover-
ty,
when
they
fee others that
are brave
in the
world,
r,
they
may
doe thus, but
'rig
not
fo
for
us
:
So
thofe
that
are
poore
in
fpirit,
when
they
fee others
that
God
bleffes, andhave re
fix&
and honour
;
he then thinkes thus
wirh
himfelfe, but
it
is
not
for me
to
expect this,
I
am
a
poore
vile
creature.
Thirdly,
One that
is
ponte in fpirit,
is
one
that
loth
ad-
mire
at
every
little
good
that
he
doth receive, that
it
is,
fo
much
;
It
wonders at every
a{liiCtion
that
it
is
no
more,
every
mercy
he thinkes
it
very great,
and is
very
thankful!
:
and
e-
very
affliction
he wonders
it
is
fo
little
,
quite
contrary
to the
world
;
They
are
troubled their
afflictions are
fo
much, and
that their
mercies
are fo
little
;
but
a
poore
fpirited
man,
he
wonders
that
his
mercies
are
fo
much,
and
that
his
afflictions
are
fo
little
;
and
therefore
is
thankful!
for every
little
:
poore
people
whofe fpirits are
fubdued with
their poverty,
give
them
but
a
half-penny,
they
are thankfull
;
fo
a
`oore
fpirired
man or woman, he
admires at mercy,
and
is
thankfull at every
thing that
God
affords
to
him
;
and
if
there
be
an
aflli&ion,
he doth
not murmure
and
repine, but
wonders
that God
.doth
lay his
hand
fo
tenderly
uponhim
as
he
loth.
Fourthly, A poore fpirited
man is
onethat
is
often
craving
;
be
is
a
praying man,
a
beggar, that
is
often begging
for
an
aimes
:
There
s
none
that
are
truly poore in fpirit,
but are
great
praying
Chriflìans
;
Cod
aiwayes
heares from
them,
and
God
is
not
weary
of
fuch
beggars.
