I shall show you the degrees of this vice now. They be two, predominant and mortified, predominant where it is not deposed by the power of sanctifying grace, which alone killeth sin, and so it ruleth in all men naturally, and will rule until the Lord bestow his humbling Spirit upon them, which making them firmly to believe the doctrine of mans misery begins by little and little to dash them quite out of conceit with themselves, and to esteem themselves the basest of all creatures almost, even creatures worthy to be damned and most vile therefore. But when pride is thus cashiered by the entering in of true humiliation, there it no longer reigneth, there it is continually observed, the evil fruit of it noted, arraigned, condemned before God, and many an heavy sigh and supplication is sent up to God against it; and there it is not a King, a Commander, there it is not imputed, there it doth not denominate the man, but where it is not thus deposed and dethroned, it is not marked, the ill fruits of it are not drawn before Gods tribunal, they are not sorrowfully confessed, nor carefully resisted, there it is the Lord of the heart, and there it doth reign and is imputed, and doth denominate the man in whom it is, and he is a proud man.
