The second Proposition that I shall lay downe concerning Pride, is this;

Where Pride hath possest it selfe throughly of the soule, it turnes the heart into steele, yea, into a rock.
As you may see in Pharaoh, pride turned his heart into 1steel, yea, into a very rock. God strikes again and again, he sends plague upon plague; and yet the more he is plagued, the more he is hardened. His pride turned his soul into a Rock; he is no more sensible of the frowns of God, the threatenings of God, the plagues, the strokes of God, then a Rock: Pride had hardened his heart, he stirs not, he yields not.
As you may see in Pharoah, pride turned his heart into 1steele, yea, into a very rock. God strikes againe and againe, he sends plague upon plague; and yet the more he is plagued, the more he is hardened. His pride turn'd his soule into a Rock; he is no more sensible of the frownes of God, the threatnings of God, the plagues, the strokes of God, then a Rock: Pride had heardened his heart, he stirs not, he yeilds not.
