And yet some do so rest in their own sufficiency, through the want of 1wise foresight of the casualties which after may befall them, and through the pride of heart in their present estate, that they would stand in need of none, neither be beholding unto any, which is but a nourishing of the hardness of their hearts, and high mindedness, that so they may further glory in themselves: and therefore such will rather offer violence to themselves, then they will use the help of any such as they like not: As Ahab spake of Michaiah, when he both stood in great need of his help, and was wished to use it by godly Jehoshaphat; No, saith he, for I hate him, and he doth not prophesy ⟨p. 546⟩2good for me: but it had been better for him to have been beholding to him.
