"You can never magnify Christ enough, and you can never debase self enough;"

The more true light a man hath, the more cause of self-abasement will he find in himself. You can never magnify Christ enough, and you can never debase self enough; and certainly Christ is most exalted when you are most abased, Isa. ii. 19. Dagon must fall upon his face if you mean to set up the ark; and if Christ shall be precious to you, you must be vile in your own eyes; none have such true revivings as the humble, Isa. Ivii. 15, 16. True humiliation is far from weakening your comforts, it maketh them more full and sure;
