summary:
  Whose Works are Truth , and his Wayes Judgement ▪ And those that walk in Pride he is able to Abase . This Almighty GOD , in this latter Age , hath shewed his Signs in Heaven , and in Earth , and Signally manifested his sore Displeasure against the Crying and Reigning Sin of Pride , and the manifold Abominations of this Sinful Nation ; a People Laden with Iniquity , the Pride of whose Countenances Testify against them and the Crown of Pride is on their Heads .

  Anthropolatria; or The sinne of glorying in men, especially in eminent ministers of the gospel. Wherein is set forth the nature and the causes of this sinne, as also the many pernicious effects which at all times this sinne hath produced, and with which the church of Christ is still infected. With some serious disswasives from this sinne, and directions to prevent the infection thereof. A discourse usefull, and in these times very seasonable. / By John Tombes, B.D. and preacher of Gods word at the Temple.

summary:
  For what is it to make a man a Rabbi , a father on earth , a Master , but to glory in him as the authour of our faith ; to esteeme him as the only Teacher , to depend upon his mouth as if he were another Pythagoras , {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} , that he hath said were enough ? now what is this lesse then to unchaire Christ , and to lift up man into his seate , to deprive the shepheard and bishop of our soules , and substitute another in his roome ? It is in effect all one as to thanke the Axe for building the house , and to passe by the Carpenter . Zanchius complaines against this evill , calling it {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} , a worshipping of men , and relates with indignation the speech of one at Geneva , who being asked why he would not sometimes heare Viret a worthy Preacher there , answered , that if Paul should preach at the same time with Calvin , he would heare Calvin ; and another complaines in his Epistle to Calvin , of a certaine person that was so affected to Luther , that he thought his very shooes should be adored .

  Nature ( without mans helpe ) doth them supply , And man without their help would straue and dic . Yet forasmuch as I know that Pride cast Angels out of Heauen , made diuels in hell , threw man out of Paradise , was a maine causer of the drowning of the first World , is a deuowrer of this world , and shall euer be accursed in the world to come , by this knowledge , I haue with a mix'd inuectiue mildnesse , shewed in this Booke the vanities of all sorts of Pride , not that I hope for amendment , but to shew my honest intendment .

  Logoi eukairoi, essayes and observations theologicall & morall. Wherein many of the humours and diseases of the age are discovered, and characteriz'd: divers cautions and directions præscribed for the avoidance of their infection, and the promotion of their cure. Together with some meditations & prayers adjoyn'd, serving to the same purpose. / By a student in theologie.

summary:
  I omit those whose whole aime is like Simon Magus , to be thought some great ones ; such as take upon them to have cleare knowledge of those misteries the Gospell hath drawne a vaile over , and not only vent the cabbinet secrets of Gods unrevealed will and unsearchable waies before men , but to God himselfe ( all which are so far from a true Gospell spirit ( which necessarily must be an humble , a sober , and a charitable one ) as that they seem to be the very {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} prophecyed of by St Peeter , Saint Jude and others . ) But what a wonder is it that men should cry , Peace , Peace to themselves in this ensnaring estate : that they should think themselves religious all the while , and believe their Corban of zeale for some points , which their interesse makes deare to them , should dispence with their obedience to many of the great commandements of God .

  The vanity of the creature by the author of The whole duty of man, &c. ; together with a letter prefix'd, sent to the bookseller, relating to the author.

summary:
  Oh that we would then be exhorted in the Apostles words , To stand fast in the Faith , to quit our selves like men , and be strong : and not to be as children , toss'd to and fro , and carried about with every wind of Doctrine ; but to be as men in understanding , stedfast and immoveable ; that so God may have cause to glory on our behalf , as he did on Jobs , Hast thou consider'd ( says God to Satan ) my servant Job ? For you know that when God would chuse a King for Israel , he chose him not by outward and perishing excellencies , for then he would have chosen in the room of Saul , Eliab , Aminadab , or Shammah , who were the three elder brothers of David , and men of goodly personages to look upon ; yet God chose none of these , ( says the Text ) but David the youngest of them , though not so outwardly , yet inwardly glorious , being a man after his own heart .

title:
  A moral essay concerning the nature and unreasonableness of pride in which the most plausible pretences of this vice are examined, in a conference between Philotimus and Philalethes. Licensed August 17. 1689.

summary:
  I am glad to hear this concession from you , because from hence it follows that a man may have a just esteem of himself without being proud : Now if this observation was remembred and rightly applyed , men would not be so censorious in this point , nor mistake their own Pride for their neighbours so often as they do . In short , the Rules of Decency , of Government , of Justice it self , are so different in one place from what they are in another , so party-coloured and contradictious , that one would almost think the Species of men altered , according to their Climates ; and that they had not the same Nature in common .

summary:
  If thou must own , I am further from God , and not nearer : Sin is stronger , and not weakned ; then sure thou wilt own thou hast lived in vain to thy self . God addresseth himself to thee as one stupidly ignorant , but know thou : it 's what

summary:
  A vigorous and quick expression , declaring the great vanity of man , and as in other matters so particularly in his disputing , and reasoning in the things of God. Such is the vanity of man , that take him extra gratiam Dei , without the grace of God , as Gejerus expresses it , and he is wholly vain , so that there is nothing but vanity to be found in him .
