1. Self-opinion. 2. Affectation of praise.
1. Pride consists in Self-opinion, whereby men do ascribe to themselves, and are lifted up in the inordinate esteem and admiration of their own real or supposed excellencies, in any of the particulars above-mentioned.
2. Pride consists in vain-glory, or a foolish affectation of the praise of men, both which we find in the Scribes and Pharisees, a vain-glorious generation, who only drived a trade of popular applause, ⟨p. 14⟩Mat. 23.5. John 12.43. Thus when a man hath made himself his own idol, he would have all the standers by fall down and worship it. And when he hath set a rate upon his own parts and perfections, he is very impatient and discontented if others will not come up to his price.
