Sinopsi

Meekness and quietness seem to imply much the same thing, but as the latter has something of metaphor in it, it will illustrate the former, so we shall speak of them distinctly. We must be of a MEEK spirit. Meekness is easiness of spirit: not a sinful easiness to be debauched, as Ephraim?s, who willingly walked after the commandment of the idolatrous princes, nor a simple easiness to be imposed upon and deceived, as Rehoboam?s, who, when he was forty years old, is said to be young and tender-hearted, but a gracious easiness to be wrought upon by that which is good, as theirs whose heart of stone is taken away and to whom a heart of flesh is given. Meekness accommodates the soul to every occurrence, and so makes a man easy to himself and to all about him. Meekness may be considered with respect both to God and to our brethren, it belongs to both the tables of the law, and attends upon the first great commandment, You shall love the Lord your God, as well as the second, which is like it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself, though its special reference is to the latter.
