Publisher's Description
"The beauty of a thing consists in the symmetry, harmony, and agreeableness of all the parts. Now what is meekness but the soul's agreement with itself? It is the joint concurrence of all the affections to the universal peace and quiet of soul, everyone regularly acting in its own place and order, and so contributing to the common good. Next to the beauty of holiness, which is the souls agreement with God, is the beauty of meekness which is the soul's agreement with itself. Behold how good and how pleasant a thing it is for the powers of the soul to dwell in unity, the reason knowing how to rule the affections at the same time, knowing how to obey"
—Matthew Henry
