How vile then are our hearts? and how do we debase our selves, to subject our selves to every vanity, as if it were a God, when as that all the power in God himself cannot raise a created excellency to that height as to be a God to us? how vain is the heart of men that makes pleasure their god? as the voluptuous, his belly; that makes money his god, as the covetous; that makes honour and the applause of men, as the ambitious, to be a god unto us. ⟨p. 33⟩Bernice and Agrippa came with great Pomp, 1they came with much Fancy as the word signifies; the excellency that all their pomp had,2 it was but that that fancy put upon them.
