11. Proud men will venture upon things unseemly, thinking their esteem and greatness will bear them out; and others who are proud will venture upon the like, upon the same ground, for every man is •eady to have high thoughts of himself. Psal. 19. 14. Deliver me from presumptuous sins, a superbis, so some, Ab insolentibus, so others, from proud, from insolent ⟨p. 115⟩sins.1 Pride makes insolent. A proud man, says the Philosopher, is a feigner of boldness and valour, and therefore will foolishly venture upon any thing.2
