Henry the fourth, Emperor, in sixty-two Battles had generally ⟨p. 35⟩the better, and yet was deposed, and driven to that misery, that he desired only a Clerkship in a house at Spira, that himself had built: And oh that Professors would think of this in these days in which we live. All the world shall not keep up those, which do not keep down their own spirits. The very design of God is to stain the pride of all glory, and to bring into contempt the honourable of the earth. Therefore now if men in our days shall grow proud and 1high, under mercies and Divine appearances, Justice will be above them, and turn their glory into shame, and lay their honour in the dust. If your blood rises with your outward good, you will certainly fall, and great will be your fall.
