A righteous man falling down before the wicked is as a troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring. It is not good to eat much honey: so for men to search their own glory is not glory. He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.
All these are very plain scriptures, explained upon the same gospel principles; and where the Spirit of Christ is not, they are none of his. Romans 8:9.
