Again, the effects of it are exceeding hurtful, the punishments it causeth the Lord to lay upon men are great, as you heard before, he is a professed enemy to him, he hath threatened to pull him down,1 He that exalteth himself shall be abased. God will mar the pride of men and stain their excellency, and he plagues them often in their bodies and states, by giving them up to such absurd carriages, as do pull ruin upon themselves, and always in their souls by giving them up to the hardness of their hearts, so that they be of all the most impenitent and irreformable, and therefore it is said, that when God will convert a man he covers his pride by chastisements, and when Jeremiah chargeth the people to amend and give glory to God before his judgements come upon them, he saith, if you will not hear my soul shall weep in secret for your pride, 2noting that this filthy pride doth even stop up the ears against all wholesome advertisements. O how fearful a vice is that which cuts off the way to all amendment, by turning away the ear from receiving instruction, the principal instrument of working amendment?

God will marre the pride of men and staine their excellencie, and he plagues them often in their bodies and states, by giving them up to such absurd carriages, as doe pull ruine upon themselves, and alwaies in their soules by giving them up to the hardnesse of their hearts, so that they be of all the most impenitent and irreformable, and therefore it is said, that when God will convert a man he covers his pride by chastisements, and when Ieremy chargeth the people to amend and give glory to God before his judgements come upon them, hee saith, if you will not heare my soule shall weepe in secret for your pride, 2noting that this filthy pride doth even stop up the eares against all wholesome advertisements. O how fearefull a vice is that which cuts off the way to all amendment, by turning away the eare from receiving instruction, the principall instrument of working amendment?
