Symptoms of the corporal disease are a swelling of the stomach, empty belchings, much rumbling of wind in ⟨p. 61⟩the bowels, which offering to descend, is turned back again. You shall easily know a vain-glorious man: his own commendation rumbles within him, till he hath bulked it out; & the air of it is unsavoury. In the field, he is touching heaven with a lance; in the street, his eye is still cast over his shoulder. He stands up so pertly, that you may know he is not laden with fruit. If you would drink of his wisdom, knock by a sober question at the barrel, and you shall find by the sound, his wits are empty. In all companies, like chaff he will be uppermost: he is some surfeit in natures stomach, & cannot be kept down. A goodly Cypress tree, fertile only of leaves. He drinks to none beneath the salt; and it is his Grammar rule without exception, not to confer with an inferior in public. His impudence will over-rule his ignorance to talk of learned principles; which come from him, like a treble part in a base voice, too big for it. Living in some under-stair office, when he would visit the country, he borrows some Gallants cast suit of his servant, and therein (Player-like) acts that part among his besotted neighbours. When he rides his masters great horse out of ken, he vaunts of him as his own, and brags how much he cost him. He feeds upon others courtesy, others meat: and (whether more?) either fats him. At his Inn he calls for chickens at spring, and such things as cannot be had; whereat angry, he sups according to his purse with a red Herring. Far enough from knowledge, he talks of his castle, (which is either in the air, or enchanted) of his lands, which are some pastures in the Fairy-ground, invisible, no where. He offers to purchase Lordships, but wants money for earnest. He makes others praises as introductions to his own, which must transcend; and calls for wine, that he may make known his rare vessel of deal at home: not forgetting to you, that a Dutch Merchant sent it him, for some extraordinary desert. He is a wonder every where; among fools, for his bravery, among wise men for his folly. He loves an Herald for a new Coat, ⟨p. 62⟩and hires him to lye upon his Pedigree. All Nobility, that is ancient, is of his alliance; and the Great man is but of the first head, that doth not call him, Cousin.
