whatsoever_o thus_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n bring_v in_o babylon_n speak_v in_o her_o heart_n that_o be_v think_v 1●_n i_o will_v ascend_v into_o heaven_n and_o exalt_v my_o throne_n above_o or_o

that_o proud_a lesson_n of_o the_o devil_n you_o shall_v be_v as_o god_n so_o we_o be_v in_o their_o loin_n when_o they_o sin_v and_o descend_v from_o they_o by_o ordinary_a gineration_n do_v together_o with_o our_o nature_n receive_v that_o corruption_n from_o they_o whereby_o we_o think_v thus_o proud_o of_o ourselves_o that_o we_o far_o excel_v other_o and_o be_v as_o little_a god_n on_o earth_n in_o respect_n of_o other_o indeed_o the_o most_o will_v say_v for_o themselves_o we_o abhor_v this_o proud_a thought_n neither_o do_v we_o ever_o find_v it_o to_o be_v in_o we_o but_o we_o must_v know_v that_o the_o lesser_a we_o discern_v it_o in_o ourselves_o the_o more_o it_o reign_v in_o our_o heart_n and_o the_o more_o we_o discern_v and_o bewail_v it_o the_o lesser_a place_n it_o take_v in_o us._n now_o touch_v this_o thought_n of_o pride_n two_o thing_n must_v be_v observe_v the_o danger_n and_o the_o high_a degree_n of_o it_o thought_n for_o the_o danger_n of_o this_o thought_n the_o outward_a affect_v of_o strange_a fashion_n in_o apparel_n be_v a_o wonderful_a pride_n but_o the_o most_o vile_a and_o wretched_a pride_n of_o all_o be_v that_o spiritual_a pride_n of_o the_o heart_n whereby_o a_o man_n despise_v all_o other_o in_o regard_n of_o himself_o and_o think_v himself_o far_o better_o than_o any_o this_o i_o manifest_a by_o sundry_a reason_n as_o first_o from_o the_o fruit_n of_o this_o inward_a pride_n for_o hence_o do_v slow_a many_o damnable_a sin_n in_o man_n life_n and_o conversation_n pride_n as_o first_o ambition_n whereby_o man_n be_v not_o content_a with_o that_o estate_n wherewith_o god_n have_v belss_v they_o but_o do_v seek_v by_o all_o mean_n to_o be_v advance_v to_o high_a dignity_n &_o estate_n second_o presumption_n whereby_o man_n dare_v enterprise_n thing_n beyond_o their_o call_n and_o above_o their_o power_n take_v upon_o they_o more_o than_o they_o be_v able_a for_o three_o boast_v whereby_o a_o man_n speak_v of_o himself_o more_o than_o be_v seemly_a &_o extoll_v himself_o above_o his_o desert_n four_o hipocrysie_n when_o a_o man_n pretend_v he_o have_v that_o grace_n and_o religion_n which_o indeed_o he_o have_v not_o or_o else_o make_v show_v of_o more_o grace_n than_o be_v true_o in_o he_o five_o obstniacie_n when_o a_o man_n persist_v in_o a_o error_n &_o will_v not_o yield_v to_o the_o truth_n though_o it_o be_v manifest_v unto_o he_o six_o contention_n whereby_o man_n strive_v one_o against_o another_o in_o word_n or_o deed_n without_o relent_v and_o last_o affectation_n of_o novelty_n especial_o in_o outward_a attire_n for_o when_o a_o man_n conceive_v so_o high_o of_o himself_o than_o withal_o he_o think_v no_o manner_n of_o attire_n good_a enough_o to_o beautify_v and_o adorn_v his_o body_n and_o so_o begin_v to_o devise_v and_o affect_v strange_a and_o foreign_a attire_n second_o the_o danger_n hereof_o appear_v hence_o that_o where_o this_o thought_n of_o pride_n reign_v as_o it_o do_v in_o all_o man_n natural_o there_o the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n dwell_v not_o mary_n in_o her_o song_n say_v well_o 51._o god_n scatter_v the_o imagination_n of_o the_o proud_a

also_o that_o be_v of_o a_o contrite_a and_o humble_a spirit_n to_o revive_v the_o spirit_n of_o the_o humble_a but_o he_o that_o lift_v up_o himself_o his_o mind_n be_v not_o upright_o in_o he_o habak_v 2_o 4._o three_o such_o be_v the_o danger_n of_o this_o sin_n that_o when_o all_o other_o sin_n die_v in_o a_o man_n this_o thought_n of_o pride_n die_v not_o nay_o when_o other_o sin_n be_v mortify_v and_o god_n grace_n come_v in_o stead_n thereof_o yet_o this_o will_n then_o revive_v and_o make_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n matter_n whereon_o to_o work_v as_o when_o a_o ignorant_a person_n attain_v to_o some_o knowledge_n this_o pride_n will_v take_v occasion_n from_o that_o gift_n of_o god_n to_o puff_n up_o the_o heart_n yea_o when_o a_o man_n in_o true_a humility_n of_o heart_n shall_v renounce_v the_o action_n of_o pride_n yet_o they_o will_v pride_n be_v work_v for_o this_o be_v a_o fruit_n of_o pride_n to_o think_v well_o of_o ourselves_o because_o we_o be_v not_o proud_a thought_n ii_o point_n the_o high_a degree_n of_o this_o pride_n be_v when_o a_o man_n think_v himself_o to_o be_v equal_a with_o god_n this_o be_v a_o most_o notorious_a nay_o a_o abominable_a height_n of_o pride_n and_o yet_o the_o truth_n be_v some_o man_n have_v come_v hereunto_o thus_o the_o king_n of_o babel_n think_v of_o himself_o when_o he_o say_v in_o his_o heart_n 14._o i_o will_v
