For though I would
desire to
glory, I
shall not be a
fool; for I will
say the
truth: but now I
forbear,
lest any
man should
think of me above that
which he
seeth me to be,
or that he
heareth of* me.

And lest I should be exalted above

given to

messenger of
Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above
