Seventhly, Pride riseth often from the success of what is attempted and done, men are proud of victories. The Assyrian is described (Isa: 10.13, 14.) triumphing and insulting, because he had put down the nations as a valiant man. And (Hab: 1.16.) we have the Chaldeans sacrificing to their net, and burning incense to their drag, because by them their portion is fat, and their meat plenteous; that is, they boasted of and gloried in their great achievements in war; so it seems to be explained in the next words (v. 17.) Shall they therefore empty their net, and not spare continually to slay the nations?

Eighthly, Pride springeth out of the very mercies and salvation of God. Thus 'tis said of Hezekiah (2 Chron: 32.25.) ⟨p. 310⟩after he had received two great mercies; First, deliverance from a great enemy; and, Secondly, from a great sickness; He rendered not again according to the benefit done unto him, for his heart was lifted up. How lifted up? not in thankfulness, for he rendered not according to the kindness, but in pride and high-mindedness; for presently it is said (v. 26.) Notwithstanding Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart.
