     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 .

     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: 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 .

     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 .

     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 .
