Now I pray you beloved search into your selves, and look about if you cannot see this vice abroad in your neighbours. Let me propound ⟨p. 226⟩this question to each of you, do you know never a proud man in the Town? and do you see never a one in the Church whom you judge to be full of pride? you would answer this question in your own hearts. Do you see or know a proud man or woman in the place where you dwell? I am afraid, you that be poor will look upon the gayer clothes of the wealthy, and say without doubt they be monstrous proud that must wear such gay things about them, when others of as good earth as themselves go almost naked or so simply clad. And I fear, least you that are wealthy will find cause to blame such a one and such a one for pride, because their carriage is so and so: many of you can see pride (I doubt not) peeping out of the poor mans rags, and crawling like a vermin out of his mean garment: yea, you that be poor, I fear will find a great deal of pride abroad, you will not return without finding it, for in truth it is a fruit of pride to find pride every where but in ones self. Therefore I recant this speech now, and I pray you leave that foreign inquiry, and come you home every soul to himself, and search at home each in his own bosom, house, carriage. And tell me or rather God who speaks to each, art not thou thy self somewhat a kin to the generation of Sodom? a vessel in whom the Devil and flesh hath laid up a deal of pride.
Now I pray you beloved search into your selves, and looke about if you cannot see this vice abroad in your neighbours. Let me propound ⟨p. 226⟩this question to each of you, doe you know never a proud man in the Towne? and doe you see never a one in the Church whom you judge to be full of pride? you would answer this question in your owne hearts. Doe you see or know a proud man or woman in the place where you dwell? I am afraid, you that be poore will looke upon the gayer cloathes of the wealthie, and say without doubt they be monstrous proud that must weare such gay things about them, when others of as good earth as themselves goe almost naked or so simply clad. And I feare, least you that are wealthy will finde cause to blame such a one and such a one for pride, because their carriage is so and so: many of you can see pride (I doubt not) peeping out of the poore mans rags, and crawling like a vermine out of his meane garment: yea, you that be poore, I feare will finde a great deale of pride abroad, you will not returne without finding it, for in truth it is a fruit of pride to finde pride every where but in ones selfe. Therefore I recant this speech now, and I pray you leave that forreine inquirie, and come you home every soule to himselfe, and search at home each in his owne bosome, house, carriage. And tell mee or rather God who speakes to each, art not thou thy selfe somewhat a kinne to the generation of Sodome? a vessell in whom the Divell and flesh hath laid up a deale of pride.
