[ 714] The folly and danger of self-conceitedness.
THere were some amongst the Philosophers of old, Qui jactabant solaecismos su∣os
esse laudes & gemmas Philosophiae,* 1.1 Who accompted their rude Barbarisms,
as Ornaments of Philosophy: Such are all self-conceited men, our new Opinionists,
who present their vain fancies as the exquisite patterns of God's mind; How are the
Pulpits made Stages for every Man to act his humour in? and the Printing-Presses Mar∣ket-places
for men to vent their false wares and counterfeit Doctrines? they pretend
fair to build the Lords house, but it is Babel, not Bethel, if one may ghess by the di∣vision
of their languages; and whilst they pretend to depart from a mysticall Babylon,
they run into a liter all one, that of confusion.
