If Mr. Pride gets a wound in the head

Back to Man's religion & God's religion

"Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and envy and strife, and some also of good will." Philippians 1:15

I hope I can rejoice in the Lord's blessing the labours of other good men. It is indeed a sad spirit when ministers are jealous of each other, and would rather cavil and find fault with each other, instead of desiring that the blessing of God might rest upon them and their labours.

Oh that miserable spirit of detraction and envy, which would gladly pull others down, that we might stand as it were, a little higher upon their bodies!

Where is there any true humility of mind—simplicity of spirit—brotherly love—or an eye to God's glory when this wretched spirit is indulged? If Mr. Pride gets a wound in the head, it will not be the worse for the grace of humility.
