4. The true profiting of a man consisteth in the denying of himself.

CHAPTER XXIX.
That man hath no good of himself, nor any thing whereof he can glory.
Christian.LORD, what is man, that thou art mindful of him; or the son of man that thou visitest him?
What hath man deserved, that thou shouldst give him thy grace?
Lord, what cause have I to complain, if thou forsakest me; or if thou dost not that which I desire?
