Ezekiel31:10
10 Therefore u thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast lifted x up thy self in height, and he hath shot up his top among the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height;
Now you shall hear the sin, and the fall of this great Kingdom of Assyria.
His mind could not longer bear so great prosperity, he lifts up himself, and in his pride forgets God, who lifted him up, and will cast him down, you have a Specimen of it in that of Isa. 10.7, 8, 9. with the rest to the 20th. verse, and Isa. 36.9.15, 18. this, as other best framed polities degenerated into pride, and violence against Neighbours, Subjects, Friends as well as against Enemies, though too much 'twas, to despise man, yet 'twas intolerably more insolent, to reproach God. It is but time to lop, nay cut down this Cedar, as Isa. 10.33. with Isa. 37.36, 38.
