that_o mean_n to_o know_v himself_o this_o vice_n be_v so_o well_o know_v to_o be_v a_o enemy_n and_o to_o have_v a_o malicious_a influence_n upon_o the_o common_a conversation_n of_o the_o world_n that_o we_o find_v the_o wise_a part_n of_o it_o very_o cautious_a and_o vigilant_a how_o they_o admit_v a_o proud_a person_n into_o their_o society_n there_o be_v beside_o the_o constant_a noise_n

pride_n as_o the_o grand_a abettor_n of_o most_o of_o our_o civil_a and_o ecclesiastical_a feud_n and_o division_n it_o be_v indeed_o a_o most_o prolifie_v vice_n there_o be_v few_o sin_n to_o which_o in_o some_o respect_n it_o be_v not_o either_o a_o parent_n or_o a_o nurse_n but_o more_o especial_o to_o our_o religious_a debate_n and_o contention_n if_o we_o trace_v the_o heresy_n and_o schism_n from_o simon_n magus_n his_o day_n down_o to_o our_o own_o we_o shall_v find_v pride_n still_o a_o principal_a actor_n in_o every_o scene_n though_o perhaps_o in_o a_o different_a shape_n and_o

of_o a_o apostle_n must_v be_v reject_v nay_o even_o the_o divinity_n of_o our_o saviour_n god_n bless_v for_o ever_o must_v be_v trample_v upon_o when_o arius_n want_v a_o footstool_n to_o climb_v up_o to_o his_o affect_a greatness_n in_o a_o word_n if_o we_o can_v examine_v the_o occurrence_n of_o all_o age_n we_o shall_v find_v that_o the_o pride_n of_o some_o animate_v and_o support_v by_o
