heart_n of_o man_n as_o that_o they_o lift_v they_o up_o even_o to_o the_o forget_n of_o god_n to_o their_o own_o ruin_n the_o great_a jehovah_n know_v right_a well_o the_o nature_n of_o thing_n as_o he_o be_v the_o maker_n of_o they_o and_o the_o temper_n of_o man_n heart_n as_o he_o be_v the_o former_a of_o it_o when_o he_o cause_v moses_n to_o let_v israel_n know_v the_o particular_a

have_v build_v goodly_a house_n and_o dwell_v therein_o when_o their_o herd_n and_o flock_n their_o silver_n and_o their_o gold_n be_v increase_v that_o then_o their_o heart_n shall_v not_o be_v list_v up_o but_o the_o truth_n of_o this_o assertion_n we_o may_v see_v verify_v in_o belshazzar_n king_n of_o babylon_n for_o when_o daniel_n be_v send_v for_o to_o read_v and_o interpret_v the_o

alive_a who_o he_o will_v he_o set_v up_o and_o who_o he_o will_v he_o put_v down_o as_o thou_o do_v now_o o_o king_n but_o when_o his_o heart_n be_v lift_v up_o and_o his_o mind_n harden_v in_o pride_n he_o be_v depose_v from_o his_o kingly_a throne_n and_o they_o take_v his_o glory_n from_o he_o and_o he_o be_v drive_v from_o the_o son_n of_o man_n and_o his_o heart_n be_v make_v like_o the_o beast_n and_o his_o dwell_n be_v with_o the_o wild_a ass_n they_o feed_v he_o with_o grass_n like_o ox_n and_o his_o body_n be_v wet_a with_o the_o dew_n of_o heaven_n till_o he_o know_v that_o the_o most_o high_a rule_v in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o man_n and_o that_o he_o appoint_v over_o it_o whosoever_o he_o will_v whence_o we_o may_v note_v that_o as_o his_o heart_n be_v lift_v up_o and_o his_o mind_n harden_v in_o pride_n so_o it_o be_v upon_o the_o account_n of_o his_o high_a enjoyment_n to_o the_o forget_n of_o god_n who_o dispense_v they_o to_o he_o which_o we_o see_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o his_o cast_n down_o the_o like_a we_o may_v see_v in_o uzziah_n 2_o chron._n 26._o 1._o who_o after_o the_o death_n of_o amaziah_n his_o father_n be_v make_v king_n of_o judah_n and_o

up_o to_o his_o destruction_n for_o he_o transgress_v against_o the_o lord_n his_o god_n and_o go_v into_o the_o temple_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o burn_v incense_n upon_o the_o altar_n of_o incense_n and_o he_o be_v strike_v with_o leprosy_n and_o die_v without_o cure_n thus_o whilst_o uzzia_n seek_v the_o lord_n v._n 5._o god_n make_v he_o to_o prosper_v but_o when_o his_o heart_n be_v lift_v up_o and_o he_o forget_v god_n god_n leave_v he_o and_o punish_v his_o sin_n with_o a_o disease_n that_o to_o he_o prove_v mortal_a whence_o we_o note_v that_o when_o uzziah_n separate_v himself_o from_o his_o god_n by_o forget_v he_o god_n by_o that_o leprosy_n separate_v he_o from_o the_o privilege_n of_o his_o house_n and_o the_o society_n of_o man_n and_o from_o all_o thing_n that_o be_v
