SECTION VI. 59 grandeur, ye flattering and fading gloriesof this life ! Farewell ye vain and ambitious titles among my fellow-worms ! Be my ears deaf and my heart dead to all the noisy pomp, to all the sounding honours of this world ! Let me be a humble and a holy follower of the holy and the humbleJesus ! I adore him; I love him, I would fain be more like him. He is my divine ex- ample and my fore-runner to the world of joy above : He has a crown thereprovided for every humble soul, a crown which shall neverfade: he has names of dignityfor all his saints, but on his own sacred head are many crowns, and to his name belong supe- rior honours : To the Lamb that was slain ascribeglory and ma- jesty and universal blessing for ever and ever.
