If life be long, I will be glad, Tthat I may long obey; If short, yet why should I be sad, To soar to endless day?
Richard BaxterThe very design of the gospel doth tend to self-abasing; and the work of grace is begun and carried on in humiliation. Humility is not a mere ornament of a Christian, but an essential part of the new creature: it is a contradiction to be a sanctified man, or a true Christian, and not humble.
Richard Baxter
