288. Praise dispraised.
He that riseth early to praise his friend with a loud voice, it shall be a curse to him: when the Pharisees came to tempt Christ, they praised him: If they that praise thee to thy face, come not to tempt thee, yet a temptation comes with the praise: Be thou therefore so civil to thy self, as to beg thy friend that he would not be so civil to thee; its better that thou by speaking shouldst silence him, then that thou shouldst be silent, while he is speaking: for though thou hear no ill, yet he doth not hear well, that hears his own praises. He doth thee more hurt that praiseth thee, though there be cause, then he that dispraiseth thee when ⟨p. 222⟩there is no cause; the one is thine enemy, though he be thy friend; the other is thy friend, though he be thine enemy.
