2. Vainglory is the wind, that raiseth up the billows of this Sea. The off spring of the revived 1world are erecting a turret, whose battlements were meant to threaten heaven. Did they it in an holy ambition of such neighbourhood? No: they loved not heaven so well. Did they it for security upon ⟨p. 13⟩earth? Neither: for Feriunt summos fulgura montes; the nearer to heaven, the more subject to thunder, lightning, and those higher inflammations of heaven. Whereas Procul a love, procul a fulmine, was the old saying: Far from Jupiter, far from his thunder. Their purpose was only glory in this world. And as the Psalmist saith, that the wind raiseth the billows of the sea. He commandeth & raiseth the stormy wind: which lifteth up the waves thereof. So Ambition was 2the wind, that reared those waves and walls of pride.
