But the Vain are foolish and self-ignorant, and that palpably:

because they attempt honourable things, as though they were

worthy, and then they are detected. They also set themselves off,

by dress, and carriage, and such-like things, and desire that

their good circumstances may be seen, and they talk of them under

the notion of receiving honour thereby. Small-mindedness rather

than Vanity is opposed to Great-mindedness, because it is more

commonly met with and is worse.
