Consider the sin it self.
Pride is a stinking weed that will thrive in any soil, a swine that will feed upon any carrion, there is nothing so honourable, nothing so sordid, but pride can make use of it; the beggar can be as proud of his rags, as the King of his robes; a garment of linsey woolsey can make one look as big as well as cloth of tissue; a few knots of ribbon may puff up, as well as the richest brooches of Diamonds; Any thing without a man, a pedigree, the nod of a Superior, ⟨p. 36⟩the knee of an inferior, a favour, a fancy, any air of popular applause will fill the vain mind of man. Any thing within, natural endowments, acquired parts will elate the Spirit; Knowledge puffeth up, 1 Cor. 8.1.
