Before honour is humility:
- The fear of God and humility go together, where the one is the other is; and as the one is the way to wisdom, the other is the way to glory;
- Christ's humiliation was before his exaltation; men are first humbled and laid low in their own eyes, and then they are raised out of their low estate, and are set among princes; and shall inherit the throne of glory, being made kings and priests unto God;
- it is a frequent saying of Christ's, "he that humbleth himself shall be exalted", (Luke 14:11); such an one is raised to a high estate of grace, and at last to eternal glory.
