"Humility" imports a deep sense of our own weakness, with a hearty and affectionate acknowledgment of our owing all that we are to the divine bounty. This is always accompanied with a profound submission to the will of God, and great deadness towards the glory of the world and applause of men. (The Works of Henry Scougal (1650-1678), page13)
