1. Sometimes it swells with Pride, as the Sea with waves; which David saith, mount up to heaven. Behold that Babylonian Lucifer, saying, I will exalt 1my throne above the stars of God. I will ascend above 2the heights of the Clouds: I will be like the most High.

Especially the proud man, like the Sea, swells if the Moon inclines, if his Mistress grace him.
