1. Pride of understanding, which renders men self pleasing with pertinacy, Cuckoo-like, qui s•am cantilenam ⟨image ?⟩approbat, with contempt to others, whose apprehensions differ from their conceptions: This is a Leaven that swells and sowers mens Spirits; This makes men self-willed, which is forbidden in a Bishop, Titus 1.7.

Such read good Books with a mind rather to contradict, than to receive the truths published by others, because ^(†)themselves were not the publishers of them. A public spirit is a good Antidote against this poison, which will cause a man to rejoice in the proceeding and prospering of any work, for the public good in the hands of others, though themselves had no hand in it; as Luther said to Melanchthon; si nos non erimus digni, fiat per alios.
