and_o no_o body_n with_o he_o yet_o he_o strout_v alone_o and_o brag_v by_o himself_o to_o think_v what_o a_o jolly_a fellow_n he_o be_v now_o man_n begin_v to_o talk_v of_o his_o building_n by_o this_o we_o may_v see_v how_o wealth_n and_o honour_n change_v manner_n and_o how_o a_o gay_a coat_n or_o a_o wrought_a handkerchief_n or_o a_o gold_n ring_n can_v brave_v a_o man_n mind_n and_o make_v he_o look_v and_o speak_v after_o another_o fashion_n than_o he_o do_v it_o be_v a_o wonder_n to_o see_v what_o power_n these_o petty_a vain_a toy_n have_v over_o the_o mind_n to_o alter_v and_o change_v a_o man_n sudden_o when_o he_o think_v better_a of_o himself_o that_o day_n he_o wear_v they_o than_o any_o day_n else_o be_v not_o this_o great_a babel_n etc._n etc._n before_o the_o holy_a ghost_n lay_v nabuchadneezer_n word_n mark_v how_o he_o come_v unto_o they_o the_o king_n speak_v &_o say_v be_v not_o one_o enough_o but_o he_o must_v say_v speak_v &_o say_v this_o double_n of_o the_o word_n show_v that_o he_o speak_v with_o a_o premeditate_a pride_n from_o his_o heart_n root_n which_o shall_v out_o whether_o it_o be_v sin_n or_o no_o come_v what_o will_v come_v for_o the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v bring_v in_o other_o speech_n with_o he_o say_v and_o no_o more_o but_o here_o he_o say_v he_o speak_v &_o say_v as_o though_o he_o speak_v twice_o not_o as_o he_o speak_v at_o other_o time_n but_o like_o a_o man_n at_o defiance_n which_o can_v not_o recall_v any_o word_n that_o he_o say_v but_o if_o he_o can_v say_v more_o he_o will_v say_v it_o to_o anger_v he_o do_v i_o call_v it_o great_a babel_n i_o may_v call_v it_o great_a babel_n do_v i_o say_v that_o i_o build_v it_o i_o will_v say_v that_o i_o build_v it_o do_v i_o add_v for_o the_o honour_n of_o my_o majesty_n let_v it_o go_v for_o the_o honour_n of_o my_o majesty_n thus_o he_o speak_v and_o say_v as_o though_o he_o will_v be_v constant_a in_o his_o pride_n although_o he_o be_v constant_a in_o nothing_o else_o be_v not_o this_o great_a babel_n which_o i_o have_v build_v for_o the_o house_n of_o the_o kingdom_n by_o the_o might_n of_o my_o power_n for_o the_o honour_n of_o my_o majesty_n three_o thing_n i_o note_v in_o this_o say_n first_o what_o a_o glorious_a opinion_n nabuchadneezer_n have_v of_o his_o vain_a building_n out_o of_o these_o word_n be_v not_o this_o great_a babel_n the_o second_o that_o he_o term_v himself_o the_o founder_n of_o it_o as_o if_o he_o have_v do_v all_o without_o a_o help_n in_o these_o word_n which_o i_o have_v build_v by_o the_o might_n of_o my_o power_n the_o three_o be_v that_o in_o all_o his_o work_n he_o seek_v nothing_o but_o vain_a glory_n out_o of_o these_o word_n for_o the_o honour_n of_o my_o majesty_n these_o three_o sin_n nabuchadnezzer_n do_v bewray_v in_o one_o brag_n and_o in_o all_o these_o three_o we_o be_v so_o like_o he_o that_o the_o beast_n be_v not_o so_o like_v he_o when_o he_o become_v like_o a_o beast_n first_o we_o have_v not_o so_o wonderful_a a_o opinion_n of_o god_n or_o of_o his_o word_n or_o of_o heaven_n as_o we_o have_v of_o our_o own_o act_n although_o we_o never_o be_v able_a to_o do_v half_a that_o nabuchadnezzer_n do_v then_o yet_o this_o be_v our_o manner_n to_o attribute_v all_o to_o ourselves_o whatsoever_o it_o be_v riches_n or_o honour_n or_o health_n or_o knowledge_n as_o if_o all_o come_v by_o labour_n or_o policy_n or_o art_n or_o nature_n if_o we_o can_v draw_v it_o to_o one_o of_o these_o than_o we_o think_v it_o fortune_n though_o we_o understand_v not_o what_o fortune_n be_v for_o if_o we_o do_v count_v ourselves_o behold_v unto_o god_n for_o they_o we_o will_v find_v some_o time_n to_o be_v thankful_a to_o he_o last_o when_o we_o overviewe_a these_o matter_n this_o be_v our_o solace_n and_o comfort_n to_o think_v with_o ourselves_o these_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o make_v we_o famous_a and_o speak_v of_o and_o point_v at_o and_o there_o we_o end_n as_o though_o it_o be_v enough_o to_o be_v point_v at_o be_v not_o this_o great_a babel_n that_o which_o one_o love_v seem_v great_a and_o precious_a above_o all_o which_o he_o love_v not_o although_o they_o be_v better_a than_o it_o so_o do_v these_o building_n seem_v unto_o nabuchadnezzer_n one_o will_v think_v that_o a_o house_n though_o it_o be_v a_o fair_a house_n be_v not_o a_o matter_n for_o a_o king_n to_o be_v proud_a of_o stone_n wall_n be_v not_o so_o precious_a that_o he_o shall_v repose_v all_o his_o honour_n upon_o lime_n &_o mortar_n but_o this_o be_v a_o just_a thing_n with_o god_n that_o vain_a man_n shall_v have_v vain_a prosperity_n and_o vain_a comfort_n and_o vain_a glory_n that_o they_o may_v deceive_v they_o when_o they_o trust_v to_o it_o therefore_o as_o the_o faithful_a soul_n look_v upon_o the_o word_n or_o up_o to_o heaven_n and_o say_v to_o itself_o be_v not_o this_o my_o joy_n be_v not_o this_o my_o inheritance_n so_o the_o carnal_a man_n when_o he_o look_v upon_o his_o building_n or_o his_o money_n say_v unto_o himself_o be_v not_o this_o my_o joy_n be_v not_o this_o my_o life_n and_o while_o he_o pore_n and_o gape_v to_o long_a upon_o it_o by_o little_a and_o little_a the_o love_n of_o it_o grow_v more_o and_o more_o in_o his_o heart_n until_o at_o last_o he_o mind_v nothing_o else_o this_o be_v the_o first_o dotage_n of_o nabuchadnezzer_n the_o second_o be_v which_o i_o have_v build_v by_o the_o might_n of_o my_o power_n what_o a_o vant_n be_v this_o to_o say_v that_o he_o build_v babel_n when_o all_o history_n record_v that_o it_o be_v build_v by_o semiramis_n before_o nabuchadnezzer_n be_v wherefore_o do_v he_o boast_v of_o that_o which_o a_o other_o do_v the_o answer_n be_v easy_a why_o do_v other_o so_o now_o we_o see_v that_o every_o man_n do_v labour_n to_o obscure_v the_o fame_n of_o other_o that_o they_o may_v shine_v alone_o and_o bear_v the_o name_n especial_o in_o building_n if_o they_o do_v but_o add_v or_o alter_v any_o thing_n in_o their_o school_n or_o hospital_n or_o college_n they_o look_v straight_o to_o be_v count_v the_o founder_n of_o they_o and_o thus_o the_o first_o founder_n of_o many_o ancient_a place_n be_v forget_v so_o it_o be_v like_a that_o nabuchadnezzer_n do_v add_v or_o alter_v some_o thing_n in_o this_o city_n and_o therefore_o he_o take_v all_o to_o himself_o but_o if_o semiramis_n or_o any_o other_o have_v not_o build_v it_o but_o nabuchadnezzer_n have_v be_v the_o founder_n of_o as_o he_o will_v seem_v yet_o this_o have_v be_v a_o proud_a and_o arrogant_a speech_n to_o say_v which_o i_o have_v build_v for_o it_o be_v not_o he_o that_o can_v build_v babel_n no_o more_o than_o nemrod_n can_v finish_v babel_n 1._o but_o unless_o the_o lord_n build_v the_o house_n the_o builder_n build_v in_o vain_a therefore_o when_o he_o say_v by_o the_o might_n of_o my_o power_n he_o shall_v have_v say_v by_o the_o might_n of_o god_n power_n but_o by_o this_o you_o may_v plain_o discern_v how_o hard_a and_o difficult_a a_o thing_n it_o be_v for_o he_o to_o hit_v upon_o a_o right_a word_n or_o a_o good_a work_n which_o have_v not_o a_o good_a thought_n to_o bring_v it_o forth_o therefore_o make_v the_o root_n sweet_a 33_o or_o the_o fruit_n will_v be_v sour_a counterfeit_n as_o cunning_o as_o he_o can_v last_o where_o he_o put_v in_o for_o the_o honour_n of_o my_o majesty_n he_o show_v that_o he_o be_v of_o absalon_n honour_n though_o he_o have_v deserve_v shame_n yet_o he_o will_v have_v fame_n because_o he_o have_v no_o child_n to_o keep_v his_o name_n in_o remembrance_n 18._o therefore_o he_o erect_v a_o pillar_n which_o he_o call_v absalon_n place_n so_o stately_a house_n in_o england_n bear_v the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o owe_v they_o for_o the_o same_o vanity_n here_o absalon_n think_v to_o be_v bury_v 17._o as_o nabuchadneezer_n think_v to_o dwell_v in_o his_o palace_n but_o he_o be_v cast_v into_o a_o pit_n as_o nabuchadnezzer_n be_v turn_v into_o the_o wilderness_n 18_o so_o shebna_n make_v his_o sepulchre_n in_o one_o country_n &_o be_v bury_v in_o another_o for_o why_o shall_v pride_n have_v the_o reward_n of_o humility_n honour_n say_v solomon_n go_v before_o humility_n 12_o that_o be_v honour_n be_v the_o reward_n of_o humility_n and_o yet_o nabuchadnezzer_n will_v be_v honour_v for_o his_o pride_n what_o have_v he_o do_v or_o sheba_n or_o absalon_n that_o they_o shall_v erect_v such_o monument_n to_o be_v praise_v after_o death_n which_o be_v not_o worthy_a to_o be_v praise_v in_o their_o life_n before_o the_o build_n of_o babel_n he_o have_v do_v nothing_o worth_a
