Lowliness of mind
This is that lowliness of mind (Philippians 2:3) which they have learned from Christ, who follow his example and tread in his steps. And this knowledge of their disease, by which they are more and more cleansed from one part of it, pride and vanity, disposes them to embrace with a willing mind the second thing implied in circumcision of the heart: that faith which alone is able to make them whole, which is the one medicine given under heaven to heal their sickness.

5. This is that lowliness of mind, which they have learned of Christ, who follow his example and tread in his steps. And this knowledge of their disease, whereby they are more and more cleansed from one part of it, pride and vanity, disposes them to embrace, with a willing mind, the second thing implied in circumcision of heart, that faith which alone is able to make them whole, which is the one medicine given under heaven to heal their sickness.
