Is a mere mad-man, whether he boast of his good deeds, or his ill. If of his virtues, they are generally more suspicable: if of his vices, he is the more despicable: If of his wealth, his hearers the less trust him: this noise prevents him from being a debtor: If of his valour, he is the more infallibly held a coward. In what strain soever his Mountebank-ostentation insults, he loseth that he would find, by seeking the wrong way. He is mad: for when he would be accounted virtuous, honourable, tich, valiant, in favour with greatness; and the world takes not ample notice of it, he sounds it with his own Trumpet: then at once they hear it, and deride it. By seeking fame, he loseth it, and runs mad upon't. Put him into Bedlam.
