Secondly, Pride buddeth also at the eye, in scornful lofty looks. David profest that his heart was not haughty, nor his eyes lofty (Psal: 131.1.) The haughtiness of many mens hearts may be seen at those windows of the body, the eyes, in lofty looks. These are threatened with a downfall (Psal: 18.27.) The Lord will bring down high looks, that is, proud men who look highly. And again (Isa: 2.11.) The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of man shall be bowed down. Once more saith the Lord (Isa: 10.13.) I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the King of Assyria, and the glory of his high looks. There we have pride in the root, a stout heart, and pride in the fruit, high looks. (Isa: 3.11.) The show of their Countenance testifieth against them; that is, they look proudly, though (which should lay them in the dust) they live very lewdly, yea they are proud of their lewdness.
Secondly, Pride buddeth also at the eye, in scornfull lofty looks. David profest that his heart was not haughty, nor his eyes lofty (Psal: 131.1.) The haughtiness of many mens hearts may be seene at those windowes of the body, the eyes, in lofty looks. These are threatned with a downfall (Psal: 18.27.) The Lord will bring downe high lookes, that is, proud men who looke highly. And againe (Isa: 2.11.) The lofty lookes of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of man shall be bowed downe. Once more saith the Lord (Isa: 10.13.) I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the King of Asyria, and the glory of his high lookes. There we have pride in the roote, a stout heart, and pride in the fruit, high lookes. (Isa: 3.11.) The shew of their Countenance testifieth against them; that is, they look proudly, though (which should lay them in the dust) they live very lewdly, yea they are proud of their lewdness.
Thirdly, How often doth pride bud in apparel, in vain fashions, and new-fangled attires, in the affected adornings and trimmings of a body of clay? What are these but the buddings of pride? yea the flags and banners of pride. Some are as proud of their gay dresses, as the Peacock of his feathers. We commonly say, Fine feathers make fine birds, but how foolish are those birds that are proud of Feathers!
