vp his eyes vnto heauen. There is no doubt, but he doth meane of those seuen yeares. And seyng he began at the length to lift vp his eyes vnto heauen, hereby it appeareth how lōg the healing of his disease, that is, of his pride was. For euen as where there is some liuyng part corrupted and almost consumed, the remedy is hard and long: euen so because pride is altogether fastened in mens hartes, and doth occupy euen the very marow, and doth infect what so∣euer is in the soule, therefore is it not so easily plucked a∣way. And this is worthy to be noted. Furthermore, we are also taught by this word, that God did so worke in the kyng Nebuchadnezer, that he did not forth with bring forth ye ef∣fect of his grace opēly. It was profitable for Nebuchadne∣zer to be so shamefully handled for ye space of seuen yeares or such a tyme, and to bee banished from the company of men: but he could not so soone perceiue this vntill God had opened his eyes. So then God doth often times chastise vs, and calleth vs by litle and litle, and also doth prepare vs to repentaunce: but his grace is not straight way knowne.
