AL] All sorts and degrees of men, male or female, yoong or old, high or low, and euery particular person, of what condition soeuer, [that are proud in heart] whose hearts are lofty, and void of humilitie; and the heart is therefore speci∣fied, because pride is seated in it, and floweth from it, and that no man should challenge to himselfe any immunitie from
the wretched estate of the proud, vnlesse his heart bee seaso∣ned with humilitie. He that hath an high minde, though he beare a low saile, and keepe a small port, without pompe and brauery, may be as loathsome in the eies of the Lord, as some others that set foorth themselues with greater shewes. Yet note that he saith not, all that haue pride in their hearts, for who can be fully freed from it so long as he is cloathed with mortalitie? but they that are proud in heart, and so be none that vnfainedly feare God; for that manner of speech inten∣deth the habit or dominion of pride, which is only in the vn∣regenerate: [are an abomination to the Lord] he hath them in detestation, and cannot abide them: [though hand ioine in hand] notwithstanding that they vnite their forces, and com∣bine themselues together for their defense and safety, [he shal not be vnpunished] not one of them shall escape the strokes of God, though for a time he deferre his iudgements.
[Doct.] The better that men doe like of themselues, the worse the Lord doth like of them.
The mischiefes that ensue vpon pride, haue beene more at large intreated of in the second verse of the eleuenth Chap∣ter: and the vanitie of wicked mens association for impunity, in the 21. verse of the same Chapter.
