“bHere, then, is what God’s truth requires us to seek in examining ourselves: it requires the kind of knowledge that will strip us of all confidence in our own ability, deprive us of all occasion for boasting, and lead us to submission.

I am quite aware how much more pleasing is that principle which invites us to weigh our good traits rather than to e(b)look upon our miserable want and dishonor, which ought to overwhelm us with shame. bThere is, indeed, nothing that man’s nature seeks more eagerly than to be flattered.
