3ly. Pride makes men swell beyond their bounds; the way to keep all things in union is for every man to keep within his bounds, the swelling beyond tends to the breaking all in pieces. Hab. 2. 5. He is a proud man, neither keepeth at home, who enlargeth his desire as hell, and cannot be satisfied. If any humour of the body goeth beyond its bounds, it brings much trouble to it, the health and peace of the body consists in the keeping of every humour within its vessel and due proportion.

4ly. Pride hardens mens hearts. Dan. 5. 20. His mind is hardened in his pride. If you would have things cleave, you must have them soft, two flints will not join; the Spaniard hath a Proverb, Lime and stone will make a wall, if one be hand, yet if the other be yielding, there may be joining, and good may be done, not else.
