This, therefore, is the reason why the truly humbled is opposed, while the presumptuous goes on by wind and tide. The truly humble Satan hates, but he laughs to see the foolery of the other. Does thy hand and heart tremble? Upon thee the promise smiles. "To this man will I look," says God, "even to him that is poor, and of a contrite spirit, and trembles at my word;" Isa. lxvi. 2.
It is notoriously false that there hath been fourscore years’ constant practice of presbyterial government in Scotland; for the prelates there were above thirty years’ standing. 2. “Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day, or shall a nation be born at once?” saith the prophet, Isa. lxvi. 8.

For many, by so doing, defer this to do till the day of God's patience and long-suffering is ended; and then, for their prayers and cries after mercy, they receive nothing but mocks, and are laughed at by the God of heaven; Prov. i. 20-30; Isaiah lxv. 12-16; chap. lxvi. 4; Zech. xii. 11-13.

And if he should find that true piety and grace beneath the thatched roof, which he has in vain looked for amidst the worldly grandeur of the rich, he remembers the word of God. . . . He sees, with admiration, that 'the high and lofty One, that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy, who dwelleth in the high and holy place, dwelleth with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, Isaiah lvii., 15; and although heaven is his throne, and the earth his footstool, yet when a home is to be built, and a place of rest to be sought for himself, he says, 'To this man will I look, even to him that is poor, and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word, Isaiah lxvi., 1, 2.
