The second spiritual work, is to subdue the proud.
The seconde spirituall worke, is to subdue the proude.
He showeth strength with his arm and scattereth them that are proud in the imagination of their heart.
He shevveth strēgth vvyth hys arme and scattereth them that are proud in the ymaginacion of theyr harte.
Let no man be moved with this my true translation, in that I have translated above worketh mightily, but here I say: he showeth strength. For the cause why I so do, is that the words might be the plainer & easier to understand, which ought not to be bound ether to time or place: but that the nature and works may be more frelyer uttered, the which he alway hath done, doth, and shall do, so that it is as much as though I had said: God doth so play the LORD, that his works prosper so mightily, that he scattereth the proud, and giveth mercy unto them that fear him.
Let no mā be moued wyth thys my true translacion, in that I haue translated aboue vvorketh myghtely, but here I say: he shevveth strength. For the cause why I so do, is that the wordes myght be the playner & easyer to vnderstande, whych oughte not to be bounde ether to tyme or place: but that ye nature and workes maye be more frelyer vttered, the whych he alwaye hath done, doth, and shall do, so that it is as much as though I had sayd: God doth so playe the LORDE, that hys workes prospere so myghtely, that he scattereth the proude, and geueth mercye vnto them that feare hym.
