1. Glory, or internal gloriation or triumph of the mind, is the passion which proceedeth from the imagination or conception of our _own power_ above the power of him that contendeth with us; the _signs_ whereof, besides those in the countenance, and other gestures of the body which cannot be described, are, _ostentation_ in words, and _insolency_ in actions: and this passion, of them whom it displeaseth, is called _pride_; by them whom it pleaseth, it is termed a _just valuation_ of himself. This imagination of our power or worth, may be from an assured and certain _experience_ of our own actions; and then is that glory _just_, and well grounded, and begetteth an opinion of _increasing_ the same by other actions to follow; in which consisteth the appetite which we call _aspiring_, or proceeding from one degree of power to another. The same passion may proceed _not_ from any _conscience_ of our own actions, but from fame and trust of _others_, whereby one may think well of himself, and yet be deceived; and this is _false glory_, and the aspiring consequent thereto procureth ill success. Further, the _fiction_, which is also imagination, of actions done by ourselves, which never were done, is _glorying_; but because it begetteth no appetite nor endeavour to any further attempt, it is merely _vain_ and unprofitable; as when a man imagineth himself to do the actions whereof he readeth in some _romance_, or to be like unto some other man whose acts he admireth: and this is called _vain glory_; and is exemplified in the fable, by the fly sitting on the axletree, and saying to himself, What a dust do I make rise! The expression of _vain glory_ is that wish, which some of the Schools mistaking for some appetite distinct from all the rest, have called _velleity_, making a new word, as they made a new passion which was not before. _Signs_ of _vain glory_ in the _gesture_ are, _imitation_ of others, counterfeiting and usurping the signs of virtue they have not, affectation of fashions, captation of honour from their dreams, and other little stories of themselves, from their country, from their names, and from the like. [Sidenote: Humility and dejection.] 2. The passion _contrary to glory_, proceeding from apprehension of our own infirmity, is called _humility_ by those by whom it is approved; by the rest, _dejection_ and poorness: which conception may be well or ill grounded; if well, it produceth fear to attempt any thing rashly; if ill, it utterly cows a man, that he neither dares speak publicly, nor expect good success in any action.
