Any thing which argueth vanity, and windiness of mind, as aArrogance, and vain glorious Ostentation, ascribing to our selves things which belong not unto us, intruding into the learning Lands, •cheiements of other men, as he who called all the ships in the harbour at Athens2 his own. Labour alien• magnam partam gloriam verbis sapè in se trans•ovet. Whereunto belong Absurd, and unusual Affectations in words or fashions, mimical and fantastical gesticulations frothy and superficial Complements, Strange and exotic Habits, which are usually the scum of Light, and unsettled minds, and ever expose them to contempt. In so much that Alexander himself escaped not the Imputation of Lenity, when he followed the fashions of those Countries which he had subdued.
