The Apostle tells of some, who glory in their shame: 1Sampson ⟨p. 39⟩never gloried more in his miraculous victory over the Philistines, then some Roarers have done in their drunken Conquest, heaps upon heaps have they laid dead drunk at their feet. I have heard of some, who have made their boast, how many maids and women they have vitiated in one night.
What a base sin is pride that can feed upon excrements?
A second motive taken from the sin it self may be this: It is the root of all sin, 1indeed it is at the bottom of every sin, Only by pride comes contention: 2whether the contention be with God or man, follow it to the Spring-head, and there you will find self-opinion; when the pot-sherd ⟨p. 40⟩strives with the pot-sherds of the earth, contention would quickly cease, but that one thinks himself too good to yield to another; and why should I stoop, saith the proud heart? let him yield first if he will; I am the better man, &c. Thus also when man strives with his Maker, Pride is at the bottom.
