Thirdly, How often doth pride bud in apparel, in vain fashions, and new-fangled attires, in the affected adornings and trimmings of a body of clay? What are these but the buddings of pride? yea the flags and banners of pride. Some are as proud of their gay dresses, as the Peacock of his feathers. We commonly say, Fine feathers make fine birds, but how foolish are those birds that are proud of Feathers!

Secondly, There is pride of heart, or pride budding in the spirit of man, which doth not show it self; only the mind swells within. When men have high thoughts of themselves (though they do not (as the Apostle Jude hath it) speak great swelling words of vanity, yet they have great swelling thoughts of vanity, then pride buddeth in their spirits, their minds swell, and the mind will swell more then the tongue. The tongue swells mightily, but the heart much more. The spirit of a man may lift up it self on high, when the man looks very demurely. (Hab: 2.4.) Behold, his soul which is lifted up, is not upright in him; If the soul be lifted up, the man falls; He that is high-minded, cannot be upright in his mind.
