*Nay, in every _order_ and _station_ of life, whether of _learning_ or _business_, either in church or state, you cannot act up to the spirit of religion, without renouncing the most _general temper_ and _behaviour_ of those, who are of the same order and business as yourself.
*And though _human prudence_ seems to talk mighty wisely about the necessity of avoiding _particularities_, yet he that dares not be so _weak_ as to be particular, will be obliged to avoid the most substantial duties of Christian piety.
These reflections, will, I hope, help you to break through those difficulties, and resist those temptations, which the authority and fashion of the world hath raised against the practice of _Christian humility_.
