The last sin is haughtiness,1 he chargeth them before with pride, and now here with haughty carriage. It may be concluded hence, that pride and haughtiness be two distinct things, seldom separated in practise, but in their nature to be so distinguished, as the root and the branch, the fountain and the stream.2 For pride is a vice more inward, the nature of which standeth in this, that it causeth a man to over-esteem himself. Haughtiness is a vice more outward, consisting in this, that it maketh a mans outward carriage lofty and high. This is that which S. John calleth the pride of life, 3this is that which David denieth of himself, saying,4 that his eyes were not lofty, and it is one of the things whereto he binds himself, to be so great an enemy, that none of those which accustomed themselves unto it, should have admittance into his favour and house,5 him that hath a high look and a proud heart will I not suffer. He names an high look first, because it was impossible for him to discern the proud heart, but by the look or some external effect of it. And Solomon nameth it in the Proverb. 6.17. as one of the things and the first in order which God detesteth, viz. a proud look. And David in Psal. 18.17. saith, that God will bring down high looks. You see, that this high and lofty carriage is a sin, the cause is, it proceeds from pride of heart, it increaseth pride of heart in him that so declareth it; it infecteth others with the same pride, and it grieveth and offendeth them that are not infected, and in all these respects procureth Gods hand upon the offender.
The last sinne is haughtinesse,1 hee chargeth them before with pride, and now here with haughty carriage. It may be concluded hence, that pride and haughtinesse be two distinct things, seldome separated in practise, but in their nature to be so distinguished, as the roote and the branch, the fountaine and the streame.
