The Symptoms of the Pleurisy are difficult breathing, a continual Fever, a vehement pricking on the affected side. The proud man is known by his gate, which is peripatetical, strutting like a new Church warden. He thinks himself singularly wise, but his opinion is singular, and goes alone. In the company of good wits he fenceth in his ignorance with the hedge of silence, that observation may not climb over to see his follies. He would have his judgment for wearing his apparel pass unmended, not uncommended. He shifts his attire on some solemn day twice at least in twelve hours; but cannot shift himself out of the Mercers books once in twelve months. His greatest envy is the next Gentleman's better clothes: which if he cannot better or equalize, he wears his own neglected. His apparel carries him to Church, without devotion, and he riseth up at the Creed to join with the rest in confession, not of his faith, but his pride: for sitting down hides much of his bravery. He feeds with no cheerful stomach, if he sit not at the upper end of the table, and be called young master, where he is content to rise hungry, so the observant company weary him with drinking to: on this condition he gives his obligation for the shot. He loves his lying glass beyond any true friend; and tells his credulous auditors, how many Gentlewomen have run ⟨p. 33⟩mad for him: when if a base female servant should court him, I dare wager, he proves no Adonis. If he were to die on the block as Byron, he would give charge for the composition of his locks.

In the company of good wits he fenceth in his ignorance with the hedge of silence, that obseruation may not climbe ouer to see his follies. He would haue his iudgment for wearing his apparell passe vnmended, not vncommended. Hee shifts his attire on some solemne day twice at least in twelue houres; but cannot shift himselfe out of the Mercers bookes once in twelue moneths. His greatest enuy is the next Gentlemans better clothes: which if he cannot better or equallize, he weares his owne neglected. His apparell carries him to Church, without deuotion, and he riseth vp at the Creed to ioyne with the rest in confession, not of his faith, but his pride: for sitting downe hides much of his brauery. He feeds with no cheerfull stomake, if he sit not at the vpper end of the table, and be cald young master, where he is cōtent to rise hungry, so the obseruant company weary him with drinking to: on this condition he giues his obligation for the shot. Hee loues his lying glasse beyond any true friend; and tels his credulous auditors, how many Gentlewomen haue runne
