6. That overweening impedeth oftentimes the perfectioning of the very same qualitie, wee are proudest of.
Fond selfe-conceit likes never to permitOnes mind, to see it selfe with upright eyes;
Whence many men might have attain'd to wit,
Had they not thought themselves already wise:
To boast of wisedome then, is foolishnesse;
For while we thinke, we're wise: we're nothing lesse.
