5. That humility and
quietness are to be maintained in all things.
In Isaiah: “Thus saith the Lord God,
The heaven is my throne, and the earth is the stool of my feet.
What seat will ye build for me, or what is the place for my rest?
For all those things hath my hand made, and all those things are
mine. And upon whom else will I look, except upon the lowly and
quiet man, and him that trembleth at my words?”4204
On this same thing in the Gospel
according to Matthew: “Blessed are the meek, for they shall
inherit the earth.”4205
Of this same thing, too, according
to Luke: “He that shall be least among you all, the same
shall be great.”4206
Also in the same place:
“Whosoever exalteth himself shall be made low, and whosoever
abaseth himself shall be exalted.”4207
Of this same thing to the
Romans: “Be not high-minded, but fear; for if God spared
not the natural branches, (take heed) lest He also spare not
thee.”4208
Of this
same thing in the thirty-third Psalm: “And He shall save
the lowly in spirit.”4209
Also to the Romans:
“Render to all what is due: tribute to whom tribute is due,
custom to whom custom, fear to whom fear, honour to whom honour; owe no
man anything, except to love another.”4210
Also in the Gospel according to
Matthew: “They love the first place of reclining at feasts,
and the chief seat in the synagogues, and salutations in the market,
and to be called of men Rabbi. But call not ye Rabbi, for One is
your Master.”4211
Also in the Gospel according to
John: “The servant is not greater than his lord, nor the
apostle greater than He that sent himself. If ye know these
things, blessed shall ye be if ye shall do them.”4212
Also in
the eighty-first Psalm: “Do justice to the poor and
lowly.”4213
