4 There is another lust of pride which is expressed in boasting of himself, either in words, or carriage, Prov. 27.2. that is boasting, when a man magnifies himself, boasting in words, in great and false promises, so in gesture in the eyes. Psal. 141. Prov 30.13. so in stretched-out necks, Isa. 3.23. when a man struts, and prides himself in his carriage.

So there is pride in Work•, when men build to make themselves a name, Gen. 11.14. Dan. 4.27. so in strange fashions and apparel, Isa. 3.18. to 24. because they took pride in their bravery and gay clothes, therefore he would send baldness instead of beauty, &c. so pride is showed in Feasting, to show their own Magnificence and Riches, and they aim only at that, as Nabal, 1 Sam. 25. when he feasted as a King.
