This their fullness puffed them up; Pride is an ordinary disease that follows fullness. Saith an Ancient, It's hard to be in honour without swelling; Pride is the disease of prosperity, in Psal. 73. 3. I saw the prosperity of the wicked, 1and so on, he describes their prosperity, and in the 6. vers. Therefore pride compasses them about as a chain, violence covereth them as a garment: and hence that caveat of the Apostle, 1 Tim. 6. 17. Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not high minded. Charge them saith 2the Apostle, for it's usual for men that are rich, that are full, to be high minded. Charge them.
