He is proud; tetufwtai, he is swelled or blown up, i.e. with pride swelling in opinion and conceit of himself, he is a fanatic.



Knowing nothing solidly and truly,



but doting about questions and strifes of words; is brain sick about questions of no use, but to make a contention about words.



Whereof cometh envy; when he once comes to perceive that others are wiser than he.



Strife; for an ignorant person, if proud, can never yield that another knows more than he doth.



Railings are commonly the revenges of ignorant sciolists, that would be thought something and are nothing; when they perceive they are outdone by others, then they rail.



Evil surmisings, uponoiai when they can in truth say no evil of others, they will uncharitably surmise and suspect evil of them.
