Eleventhly, Some have been proud not only of divine and heavenly, but of diabolical and hellish Revelations. We read of one Theudas boasting himself to be some body (Acts 5.36.) This vain man pretended revelations from God, which were indeed from the Devil; And he swelled with this conceit, boasted himself to be some body, that is, he thought himself to be every body; as if the perfections of all men were Centered in him, or as if all others were no body, and he himself the only some body. The Apostle (Acts 8.9.) speaking of Simon, 1who had used sorcery and bewitched the people of Samaria, saith, He gave out that himself was some great one; he swelled with pride from his diabolical Revelations; giving out not only (as Theudas) that he was some body, but that he was some great one. Though indeed for a man to report himself some body, is (as both learned Grecians and Latins noted in the Margin tell us) to report himself a Great one. And who are greater in pride, then they who make Great reports of themselves, or report themselves great?
