Ostentation and Pride upon the account
of Honours and Preferments, is much
more offensive, than upon any personal
Qualifications. It argues, Men do not de∣serve
Great Places, when they can Value
themselves upon them, if a Man would
be truly Valued, the way to it is by be∣ing
illustriously Good. For even the
greatest Men are more respected for the
Eminence of their Parts and Vertue, than
for that of their Fortune.
