Oh my Brethren, this is the ordinary guise of carnal hearts, 1Though God be much with men, yet if they be but of a low rank, carnal hearts regards them not; let them do never so great services, and be never so instrumental for the Kingdom, even those men that have had their estates preserved by them, that have had their Liberties and all kept by them, and by a mighty Spirit that God hath put into them, yet when the work is over, they look upon them but as mean ordinary men, men of a common rank, and so let them go; they after all the great things that God hath done by them, still their thoughts and minds are upon others that are above them, and Princes, and Nobles, such men, they rely more upon men in whom they see outward pomp and glory; then upon those that have the presence of God never so much with them, and they regard them more, and they do think that they shall receive more good by them, and their hearts are more towards them if they have outward pomp and glory, than towards such men that are in a meaner condition though there be never so much of the presence of God with them: Oh we see that, that which hath been is still to this very day. —Of whom thou saidst, Give us a King and Princes.
