Lowliness, mourning, meekness
Now the way to heaven pointed out in the preceding sermon is the way of lowliness, mourning, meekness, and holy desire, love of God and of our neighbor, doing good, and suffering evil for Christ's sake. They are therefore false prophets who teach as the way to heaven any other way than this.
