XXV.
Affect not ostentation; covet rather to be
good, than to appear so; imitate the Publican
rather than the Pharisee; in cheating the
world, thou wilt cheat thy self; let the inside
be the better side; deserve praise, but do not
desire it; forget what thou art, and press for∣ward
to what thou shouldest be; content not
thy self with the measure thou hast attained;
there is no standing at a stay, and while another
is better, thou mayest mend.
