in_o place_n and_o authority_n in_o a_o country_n or_o city_n they_o lean_v so_o much_o to_o their_o own_o wit_n that_o they_o despise_v the_o counsel_n and_o advice_n of_o other_o not_o be_v like_o 5.15_o like_o 2_o king_n 5.15_o naaman_n that_o hear_v the_o advice_n of_o his_o servant_n nor_o like_o the_o elder_n of_o 20.20_o of_o sam._n 20.20_o abel_n that_o receive_v the_o advice_n of_o a_o wise_a woman_n but_o 20.20_o but_o sam._n 20.20_o rather_o think_v that_o their_o counsel_n shall_v be_v follow_v of_o all_o and_o they_o shall_v be_v counsel_v by_o none_o by_o such_o wilful_a pride_n and_o proud_a wilfulness_n many_o good_a thing_n be_v neglect_v which_o may_v profitable_o be_v do_v and_o many_o evil_n be_v commit_v which_o afterward_o prove_v hurtful_a and_o may_v well_o have_v be_v avoid_v thus_o much_o for_o the_o pride_n wherewith_o david_n enemy_n be_v possess_v reason_n proud_a persecutor_n rise_v against_o go_n saint_n for_o 3._o reason_n now_o let_v we_o consider_v wherefore_o david_n proud_a enemy_n arise_v against_o he_o and_o what_o can_v be_v the_o reason_n that_o move_v other_o proud_a persecutor_n to_o rise_v against_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n the_o reason_n be_v especial_o three_o first_o because_o proud_a man_n of_o all_o other_o be_v most_o like_a satan_n and_o be_v the_o chief_a subject_n of_o his_o kingdom_n second_o because_o proud_a man_n see_v some_o excellency_n in_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n which_o be_v not_o in_o themselves_o three_o because_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n can_v be_v move_v to_o favour_v their_o wicked_a opinion_n and_o follow_v their_o lewd_a practice_n first_o i_o say_v because_o proud_a man_n of_o all_o other_o be_v most_o like_a satan_n and_o be_v the_o chief_a subject_n of_o his_o kingdom_n for_o as_o the_o humble_a saint_n be_v of_o all_o other_o man_n most_o like_a god_n because_o after_o their_o effectual_a call_n they_o be_v renew_v to_o his_o image_n in_o holiness_n and_o righteousness_n &_o as_o they_o only_o be_v the_o loyal_a subject_n of_o jesus_n christ_n the_o king_n of_o 149.2_o of_o psal_n 149.2_o zion_n in_o who_o they_o rejoice_v so_o see_v satan_n be_v the_o first_o proud_a creature_n and_o the_o author_n of_o all_o pride_n that_o be_v find_v in_o creature_n so_o the_o more_o proud_a that_o any_o man_n be_v he_o be_v the_o like_a satan_n the_o author_n of_o pride_n proud_a man_n likewise_o be_v satan_n most_o loyal_a subject_n 41.34_o subject_n job_n 41.34_o for_o he_o be_v a_o king_n over_o the_o child_n of_o pride_n to_o he_o they_o do_v most_o acceptable_a service_n be_v lead_v captive_a at_o his_o will_n great_o please_v he_o in_o the_o plot_v and_o perform_v of_o their_o proud_a and_o ambitious_a design_n whereby_o god_n be_v dishonour_v his_o people_n trouble_v and_o the_o kingdom_n of_o satan_n be_v enlarge_v and_o therefore_o as_o satan_n himself_o have_v rather_o tempt_v one_o of_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n than_o a_o thousand_o other_o so_o proud_a man_n that_o be_v the_o slave_n of_o satan_n take_v pleasure_n to_o trouble_v the_o saint_n of_o god_n 10.2_o god_n psal_n 10.2_o the_o wicked_a with_o pride_n do_v persecute_v the_o poor_a that_o be_v by_o mock_v and_o scoff_v by_o rail_v and_o reproach_v and_o by_o hurt_v they_o in_o their_o state_n and_o body_n as_o they_o find_v opportunity_n and_o occasion_n second_o because_o proud_a man_n see_v some_o worth_n and_o excellency_n in_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n which_o be_v not_o in_o themselves_o by_o reason_n of_o some_o eminent_a grace_n or_o gift_n wherewith_o god_n have_v endue_v they_o which_o not_o only_o become_v the_o object_n of_o their_o invie_n but_o likewise_o the_o spur_n of_o their_o pride_n when_o they_o can_v endure_v that_o another_o shall_v have_v the_o good_a which_o they_o themselves_o want_v and_o can_v win_v to_o and_o will_v rather_o 11.9_o rather_o jerem._n 11.9_o that_o the_o tree_n shall_v perish_v with_o the_o fruit_n before_o it_o shall_v stand_v to_o bear_v fruit_n that_o be_v to_o say_v they_o wish_v rather_o that_o the_o gift_a man_n shall_v perish_v and_o their_o gift_n be_v lose_v than_o that_o they_o shall_v see_v the_o manifestation_n of_o god_n gift_n in_o a_o other_o which_o they_o have_v not_o in_o themselves_o so_o the_o powerful_a word_n and_o mighty_a work_n of_o christ_n make_v he_o to_o be_v persecute_v by_o the_o proud_a ruler_n of_o the_o jew_n lest_o his_o fame_n shall_v be_v the_o occasion_n of_o their_o ruin_n 11.49_o ruin_n john_n 11.49_o and_o the_o roman_n shall_v come_v and_o take_v away_o their_o place_n and_o their_o nation_n the_o proud_a enemy_n of_o david_n be_v his_o cruel_a persecutor_n because_o they_o do_v see_v that_o god_n be_v with_o he_o that_o great_a thing_n be_v to_o be_v do_v by_o he_o and_o that_o great_a honour_n be_v to_o be_v confer_v upon_o he_o three_o because_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n can_v be_v move_v nor_o induce_v to_o favour_v the_o opinion_n of_o proud_a man_n and_o approve_v their_o do_n and_o follow_v they_o in_o their_o wicked_a practice_n and_o sinful_a course_n for_o proud_a man_n do_v either_o so_o presume_v of_o their_o knowledge_n wisdom_n and_o understanding_n that_o they_o think_v they_o can_v err_v or_o else_o they_o be_v so_o wilful_a that_o though_o they_o be_v convince_v of_o their_o error_n they_o will_v not_o be_v reclaim_v sometime_o likewise_o they_o be_v so_o violent_o set_v upon_o sinful_a course_n that_o because_o they_o look_v for_o pleasure_n and_o profit_n in_o the_o prosecute_n of_o they_o that_o either_o they_o think_v they_o to_o be_v lawful_a and_o equitable_a or_o though_o they_o be_v convince_v of_o their_o unlawfulnesse_n yet_o they_o will_v stand_v to_o the_o defence_n of_o they_o and_o obstinate_o maintain_v they_o as_o if_o they_o be_v most_o agreeable_o to_o equity_n and_o reason_n so_o that_o they_o become_v open_a enemy_n to_o all_o that_o will_v not_o walk_v in_o they_o or_o any_o way_n disallow_v they_o for_o as_o man_n that_o go_v abroad_o in_o the_o world_n and_o by_o reason_n of_o their_o employment_n have_v occasion_n to_o meet_v with_o people_n of_o divers_a humour_n they_o will_v sometime_o meet_v with_o a_o sort_n of_o man_n that_o if_o they_o can_v flatter_v they_o and_o please_v their_o humour_n ratify_v their_o word_n and_o approve_v their_o do_n they_o will_v respect_v they_o as_o their_o brethren_n and_o their_o dear_a friend_n but_o if_o they_o shall_v find_v fault_n with_o their_o word_n or_o censure_v their_o foolish_a carriage_n than_o they_o shall_v altogether_o abhor_v their_o company_n and_o count_v they_o the_o base_a fool_n and_o idiot_n in_o the_o world_n no_o wonder_v it_o be_v then_o that_o proud_a man_n persecute_v the_o saint_n of_o god_n that_o be_v so_o far_o from_o embrace_v their_o erroneous_a opinion_n and_o approve_v their_o wicked_a carriage_n and_o lewd_a conversation_n that_o either_o they_o be_v open_o censure_v and_o reprove_v they_o or_o else_o they_o altogether_o refuse_v to_o be_v of_o one_o mind_n with_o they_o in_o their_o erroneus_fw-la opinion_n and_o to_o walk_v in_o one_o way_n with_o they_o in_o their_o lewd_a and_o wicked_a course_n this_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o the_o persecution_n that_o protestant_n sustain_v by_o papist_n where_o they_o live_v together_o and_o this_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o this_o great_a combustion_n that_o be_v kindle_v in_o these_o kingdom_n for_o there_o be_v no_o other_o reason_n wherefore_o the_o malignant_n be_v so_o violent_o set_v against_o the_o covenanter_n but_o because_o they_o can_v be_v of_o one_o mind_n and_o opinion_n with_o they_o concern_v the_o matter_n of_o state_n &_o religion_n for_o that_o which_o the_o malignant_n think_v and_o profess_v to_o be_v a_o mean_a to_o propagate_v religion_n and_o settle_v the_o state_n of_o the_o kingdom_n the_o covenanter_n with_o better_a reason_n affirm_v to_o be_v the_o subversion_n of_o the_o state_n and_o ruin_n of_o religion_n now_o before_o i_o come_v to_o the_o second_o thing_n considerable_a in_o this_o text_n there_o be_v a_o use_n that_o i_o will_v gather_v from_o the_o former_a consideration_n which_o be_v both_o for_o our_o comfort_n and_o instruction_n when_o proud_a persecutor_n which_o have_v great_a power_n and_o authority_n among_o man_n arise_v to_o trouble_v the_o peace_n of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n by_o grievous_a oppression_n and_o persecution_n then_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n may_v bold_o have_v recourse_n to_o god_n by_o earnest_a prayer_n in_o hope_n of_o a_o gracious_a deliverance_n from_o their_o eminent_a danger_n &_o that_o for_o two_o reason_n first_o when_o they_o consider_v how_o diverse_o the_o lord_n be_v
