he_o poares_z and_o gape_v 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 have_v mind_n on_o nothing_o else_o this_o be_v the_o first_o dotage_n of_o nabuchadnezzar_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 vaunt_n be_v this_o to_o say_v that_o he_o build_v babylon_n when_o all_o history_n accord_v that_o it_o be_v build_v by_o semiramis_n before_o nabuchadnezzar_n be_v bear_v therefore_o why_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 man_n so_o now_o we_o see_v that_o every_o one_o 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 &_o bear_v the_o name_n themselves_o especial_o in_o great_a building_n for_o if_o they_o do_v but_o add_v or_o alter_v any_o thing_n in_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 so_o the_o founder_n of_o many_o place_n be_v forget_v so_o it_o be_v like_a that_o nabuchadnezzar_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 as_o the_o fashion_n have_v be_v ever_o since_o but_o if_o none_o have_v build_v it_o but_o he_o have_v be_v the_o founder_n of_o it_o as_o some_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 by_o the_o might_n of_o my_o power_n for_o it_o be_v not_o he_o which_o can_v build_v babel_n no_o more_o than_o nemrod_n can_v finish_v babel_n 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 plain_o discern_v how_o hard_a and_o difficult_a a_o thing_n it_o be_v 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 or_o the_o fruit_n will_v be_v sour_a counterfeit_n as_o cunning_o as_o you_o can_v last_o when_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 absolom_n humour_n who_o although_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 therefore_o he_o erect_v a_o pillar_n which_o he_o call_v absolom_n place_n so_o many_o stately_a house_n and_o place_n in_o england_n bear_v their_o name_n of_o those_o lord_n or_o other_o that_o do_v possess_v or_o owe_v they_o for_o the_o like_a vanity_n here_o absolom_n think_v to_o be_v bury_v as_o nabuchadnezzar_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 nabuchadnezzar_n be_v turn_v into_o the_o wilderness_n so_o shebna_n make_v his_o sepulchre_n in_o one_o country_n and_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 humility_n say_v solomon_n go_v before_o honour_n that_o be_v to_o say_v honour_n be_v the_o reward_n of_o humility_n &_o yet_o nabuchadnezzar_n will_v be_v honour_v for_o his_o pride_n what_o have_v he_o or_o shebna_n or_o absolom_n do_v 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 building_n nabuchadnezzar_n have_v do_v nothing_o worth_a speak_v of_o for_o because_o he_o live_v always_o like_o a_o beast_n therefore_o god_n punish_v he_o like_o a_o beast_n and_o do_v he_o deserve_v now_o to_o be_v speak_v of_o in_o all_o age_n for_o heap_v stone_n together_o we_o may_v see_v that_o great_a man_n be_v proud_a of_o a_o small_a matter_n and_o they_o look_v to_o be_v praise_v for_o every_o thing_n they_o do_v but_o look_v how_o god_n overthwart_v they_o for_o oftentimes_o in_o that_o they_o look_v to_o make_v their_o great_a glory_n they_o shame_v themselves_o most_o of_o all_o and_o that_o which_o they_o practise_v to_o exalt_v they_o do_v disgrace_v they_o &_o that_o which_o they_o do_v to_o win_v they_o love_n get_v they_o hatred_n sin_n so_o deceive_v they_o like_o the_o blind_a aramite_n that_o they_o take_v a_o clean_a contrary_a way_n to_o their_o desire_n as_o we_o may_v see_v in_o the_o eleaventh_o of_o genesis_n they_o which_o build_v babel_n say_v they_o will_v build_v it_o to_o get_v they_o a_o name_n but_o they_o get_v shame_n for_o they_o can_v not_o finish_v it_o when_o they_o have_v begin_v it_o but_o be_v confound_v in_o such_o sort_n that_o they_o know_v not_o what_o they_o do_v so_o sudden_o they_o understand_v not_o what_o one_o another_o say_v so_o when_o nabuchadnezzar_n come_v to_o himself_o again_o he_o show_v that_o when_o he_o seek_v his_o own_o honour_n honour_v depart_v from_o he_o and_o he_o be_v make_v like_o a_o beast_n but_o when_o he_o seek_v god_n honour_n honour_n come_v to_o he_o again_o and_o he_o be_v make_v a_o king_n this_o will_v pull_v away_o many_o toy_n from_o woman_n back_n if_o they_o do_v consider_v how_o god_n make_v they_o ridiculous_a by_o that_o they_o wear_v to_o make_v themselves_o amiable_a if_o they_o do_v think_v that_o the_o apparel_n which_o they_o clog_n on_o to_o please_v the_o world_n by_o the_o secret_a judgement_n of_o god_n do_v not_o please_v but_o displease_v they_o will_v be_v ashamed_a of_o their_o attire_n as_o eve_n be_v of_o her_o nakedness_n will_v they_o wear_v such_o guard_n and_o paint_v their_o face_n but_o to_o please_v see_v now_o how_o god_n do_v mock_v they_o for_o they_o be_v not_o like_v but_o dislike_v and_o worse_o think_v of_o for_o it_o than_o they_o which_o go_v in_o russet_a coat_n &_o seek_v no_o praise_n at_o all_o they_o think_v be_o i_o not_o brave_a other_o think_v be_v she_o not_o proud_a they_o think_v be_o i_o not_o sweet_a other_o think_v be_v she_o not_o light_a yet_o they_o dream_v that_o every_o man_n praise_v they_o for_o their_o bravery_n as_o nabuchadnezzar_n think_v that_o every_o one_o will_v honour_v he_o for_o his_o palace_n if_o their_o bravery_n condemn_v they_o before_o man_n how_o will_v it_o condemn_v they_o before_o god_n therefore_o when_o nabuchadnezzar_n say_v for_o the_o honour_n of_o my_o majesty_n he_o shall_v have_v say_v for_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n majesty_n and_o then_o this_o have_v be_v record_v for_o his_o honour_n indeed_o and_o his_o house_n have_v be_v the_o house_n of_o god_n for_o as_o we_o shall_v speak_v and_o study_v &_o labour_n to_o god_n glory_n so_o we_o shall_v build_v also_o to_o god_n glory_n that_o our_o house_n may_v be_v like_o temple_n as_o obadiah_n be_v but_o few_o seek_v glory_v that_o way_n they_o have_v rather_o pull_v down_o than_o build_v in_o such_o sort_n thus_o you_o have_v hear_v what_o nabuchadnezzar_n speak_v in_o secret_a as_o though_o god_n will_v display_v the_o thought_n and_o pride_n of_o such_o builder_n these_o be_v the_o meditation_n of_o prince_n &_o noble_a man_n when_o they_o behold_v their_o building_n or_o open_v their_o coffer_n or_o lookupon_o their_o train_n swing_v after_o they_o they_o think_v as_o nabuchadnezzar_n think_v be_v not_o this_o great_a babel_n be_v not_o this_o great_a glory_n be_v not_o this_o the_o train_n that_o make_v i_o reverence_v in_o the_o street_n be_v not_o these_o the_o thing_n which_o shall_v make_v my_o child_n rich_a be_v not_o this_o the_o house_n that_o shall_v keep_v my_o name_n and_o cause_v i_o to_o be_v remember_v and_o make_v they_o which_o be_v child_n now_o speak_v of_o i_o hereafter_o when_o they_o shall_v pass_v by_o and_o look_v up_o and_o see_v these_o antike_n and_o knack_n over_o their_o head_n they_o will_v say_v oh_o he_o which_o build_v this_o be_v a_o great_a man_n he_o bear_v a_o sway_n both_o in_o court_n and_o country_n who_o but_o he_o while_o he_o live_v although_o this_o king_n be_v dead_a &_o bury_v yet_o his_o pride_n be_v escape_v &_o come_v to_o us._n nabuchadnezzar_n have_v child_n yet_o alive_a which_o build_v as_o high_a as_o he_o look_v as_o high_a as_o he_o go_v as_o brave_a as_o he_o spend_v as_o vain_o as_o he_o and_o be_v as_o proud_a as_o he_o although_o they_o be_v not_o king_n nor_o duke_n nor_o earl_n nor_o knight_n nor_o yet_o good_a squire_n look_v upon_o their_o palace_n and_o think_v whether_o they_o be_v of_o nabuchadnezzars_n brood_n be_v not_o this_o great_a babel_n and_o be_v not_o nabuchadnezzar_n lord_n of_o it_o oh_o if_o they_o may_v live_v to_o walk_v in_o
