With these, and a thousand more such like toys, their heads are more stuffed and swelled than Jove, when he went big of Pallas in his brain, and was forced to use the midwifery of Vulcan's axe to ease him of his teeming burden. Do not wonder, there- fore, that at public disputations they bind their heads with so many caps one over another ; for this is to prevent the loss of their brains, which would otherwise break out from their uneasy confinement. It affords likewise a pleasant scene of laug...hter, to listen to these divines in their hotly managed dis- putations. To see how proud they are of talking THE PRAISE OF FOLLY. 143 such hard gibberish, and stammering out such blundering distinctions, as the auditors perhaps may sometimes gape at, but seldom apprehend.
And they take such a liberty in their speaking of Latin, that they scorn to stick at the exactness of syntax or concord ; pretending it is below the majesty of a divine to talk like a pedagogue, and be tied to the slavish observance of the rules of grammar.
