A
fixt
policiewhich
Satan
vfeth,
is
to
take
aduantage
of
Hero
Sato*
our vertues to plunge
vs
headlong into vice;
for example,
tempteth
to
when
we
haue mortified our
finnes,
and
are
plentifull
in all
be
exeref
our
good
workes,
he
taketh
occafion
thereby to
puffe
vs
vp
with
pride,
and
a
pharifaicall conceite
that
wee are
not
as
other
men
are
;
yea
ifwe
be
fo
humble
that
hoe
cannot
make
vs
proud
ofanie thing
elfe,
he will labour to
make
vs
proud
of
our humilitie.
Let
vs
not thereforebe
retchleffe
and
fecure,
but
haue an eye
to
our
hearts,
euen
in
our
good
aólions
:
and
when
we
entertaine
any excellent verme,
let
vs
rake

left pride thrufi in
with
irr,
feeing
moll
commonly
it atten-
deth
vpon vertue, and
taketh
vp his
fianding
where it
lodg-
eth,for
we
are
not
quite at libertie, and out
of
the
danger
of
Satans
thraldome,
fo

as
