The third work is to subdue the proud.
The thyrde worke is to subdue the proude.
He putteth down the mighty from the seat.
He putteth dovvne the myghty from the seate.
This work with the other following may easily be perceived by the two works above rehearsed. For like as he destroyeth the wise and subtle in their imaginations and good meanings: (where unto they stick, and use their pride against such as fear God, which must suffer wrong, and their wit and righteousness must be condemned, the which all is chiefly done for the love of Gods word.) Even so he destroyeth ⟨image 56⟩and putteth down the mighty & great men with all their power and dominion, where upon they leaning, used their cruelty and pride upon their inferiors, and on the good lowly ones, the which must suffer punishment, death and all evil of them. And as he comforteth them that must suffer wrong and shame for righteousness, the truth, and his words sake, even so strengtheth he them, that suffer hurt and wrong: but the more he comforteth those that must suffer wrong, so much the more frayeth he the other. But this all must be perceived and looked for in faith. For he destroyeth not the mighty, as soon as they have deserved it, suffering them sometime until their power or authority be finished: for than doth God keep them no more, neither can they keep themselves, but do vanish & said of their own swing without any rumour or sedition: and than such as are oppressed come forth and rejoice without any uproar or noise. For the power of God is in them, which only abideth.
