First, §1because it doth marvellously cross their wretched lusts, and goes against those evil affections and actions which they are determined to follow: they would be proud; but the word tells them, ¹that then the Lord will resist them, and at length confound them bodies and souls: they would be always rooting in the earth, and scraping together the pelf of this world; ²but the word tells them, that such swine shall be without, that is, excluded from the heavenly Jerusalem, and have their portion in the lake that burneth with fire and brimstone for ever. Now when they are resolved to be proud still, and to be rooters still, and the Ministers of God are ever and anon grating upon their consciences for the same, they are much embittered and incensed against them, and their doctrine, and if they can work them any mischief, they shall be sure not to miss of it.
