*He enjoyeth great peace of mind, that careth neither for the praise nor dispraise of men.
3. He will easily be content, whose conscience is pure.
Thou art not the more holy, though thou art praised; nor the less, though thou art dispraised.
*What thou art, thou art; neither canst thou be said to be greater than thou art in the sight of God.
If thou considerest what thou art within, thou wilt not care what men say of thee.
Man seeth the face, but God looketh into the heart.
Man considereth the deeds, but God weigheth the intention.
To do always well, and to dis-esteem himself, is a sign of an humble soul.
4. He that seeketh no witness for himself from without, doth shew that he hath wholly committed himself unto God.
For not he who commendeth himself is approved, saith St. Paul; but whom God commendeth.
