1First, the Holy Ghost telleth us of their pride, this is a grievous vice, pride of heart is a fearful sin. 'Tis like a great swelling in the body, which unfitteth it for any good service, and is apt to putrefy,2 and to break and run with loathsome and foul matter. So doth this pride disable the soul from any good duty, and at left breaks forth into most odious and filthy deeds that cause it to be tedious to God and man. The Scripture often condemneth it, and pronounceth heavy threats against it, Psal. 73.6. a wicked man is blamed, because pride compasseth him as a garment, he weareth it upon himself as some fair and gorgeous robe of which he is so far from being ashamed, that he rejoiceth in it, and thinketh himself to be made more comely and honourable by it, and Prov. 8.13. he saith, the fear of God is to hate pride, amongst other things there named. ⟨p. 223⟩It must needs be concluded to be a fearful offence, the hatred of which must needs arise from the fear of God. It is blamed in an Heathen Nation, Jer. 48.29. We have heard of the pride of Moab, he is exceeding proud, his loftiness, arrogance and pride, and the haughtiness of his heart. The Prophet saith of the Jews too, Chap. 13.13. that he will weep in secret places for their pride. And our Saviour reckoning up that abominable litter and brood of sins which have their original in mans heart, that is, his corrupt inward disposition, amongst the rest nameth pride, Mark 7.22. And how much God hateth this vice, is evident by the threats which in his Word he hath thundered against it. S. Peter saith, • Epist. Chap. 5.5. God resisteth the proud, he sets himself against him as in an army ordered for the battle, he is always in the field as it were with his troops ranked and ready to give the onset and take every advantage of doing him mischief, Solomon saith,
