Ezekiel31:10
Ver. 10. Becauſe thou haſt lifted up thy ſelfe] Here he comes to deſcribe caſum & cladem, the downfal and deſtruction of this flouriſhing Empire: beginning with a ſhort Apoſtrophe to Pharaoh. Be not high-minded but fear. Believe not him who ſaid Decent ſecundas fortunas ſuperbiae, pride well becometh proſperity:Plaut. but rather beleeve what another ſaith, and experience confirmeth, Sequitur ſuperbos ultor à tergo Deus, God puniſheth the proud, ſurely and ſeverely.Seneca. A better authour then either of them telleth us, that Pride goeth before deſtruction: and an haughty ſpirit before a fall. Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, then to divide the spoil with the proud, Prov. 16.18, 19.
