Those things which Children are apt to abuse or hurt themselves with, their parents hide from them; They will hide edge-tools from them, lest they get a wound by meddling with them; They will hide fruit from them, lest by eating overmuch they get a surfeit. Thus the Lord our tender father often hides all the means and occasions of pride from the eyes of his children, because they are so ready to boast and lift up themselves in pride. Man (as was showed at the 13th verse of the former Chapter) is a proud piece of flesh, and hath much proud flesh in him. The Prophet saith (Ezek: 7.10.)

First, At the tongue, men speak proud words, they speak boastingly and vain-gloriously (Psal: 75.5.) Speak not with a stiff neck, that is, speak not proudly. Pride budded at the tongue of Nebuchadnezzar (Dan: 4.30.) when he walked in his Palace and said, Is not this great Babel that I have built for the house of ⟨p. 307⟩
