Unless you be converted and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little one, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
10. Woe to them who disdain to humble themselves willingly with little children; for the low gate of the heavenly kingdom will not suffer them to enter thither.
Woe also to the rich who have their comforts here, for when the poor shall go into the kingdom of God, they stand lamenting without.
Rejoice you humble, and be glad you that are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God; yet so, if you walk in the truth.
Chap. LIX.
That all hope and confidence
is to be fixed in God alone.
1. Lord, what is my confidence which I have in this life? or what is my greatest comfort amongst all things that appear under heaven?
Is it not thou, my Lord God, whose mercies are without number?
Where was it ever well with me without thee? or when could it be ill with me when thou wast present?
I had rather be poor for thee, than rich without thee.
