2. By knowing too much; when a man presumes to know more then he ought. His knowledge is apt to be pursy and gross, and must be kept low. fMind not high things, saith the Apostle. Festus slandered Paul, ⟨p. 73⟩that gmuch learning had made him mad. Indeed it might have done, if Paul had bin as proud of his learning, as Festus was of his honour. This is the hknowledge that puffeth up. It troubles the brain, like undigested meat in the stomach: or like the scum that seethes into the broth. To avoid this folly, Paul forbids us to ibe wise in our own conceits. Whereof I find wo readings; Be not wise in your selves; and Be not wise to your selves.
