It is not impossible that there may be in some an affected pride in
the meanness of apparel, and in others, under either neat or rich
attire, a very humble unaffected mind: using it upon some of the
afore-mentioned engagements, or such like, and yet the heart not at
all upon it. _Magnus qui fictilibus ubitur tanquam argento, nec ille
minor qui argento tanquam fictilibus_, says Seneca: Great is he who
enjoys his earthenware as if it were plate, and not less great is the
man to whom all his plate is no more than earthenware.
