It would be the height of absurdity to label ignorance tempered by humility "faith"!(Institutio III.2.3)

I was always exceedingly delighted with that saying of Chrysostom, "The foundation of our philosophy is humility"; and yet more pleased with that of Augustine: "As the orator, when asked, What is the first precept in eloquence? answered, Delivery: What is the second? Delivery: What is the third? Delivery: so if you ask me concerning the precepts of the Christian religion, I will answer, first, second, and third, Humility.

There is no inconsistency when God raises up those who have fallen prostrate.

Where God's Spirit does not reign, there is no humility, and men ever swell with inward pride.
