Proverbs 20:6 Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find? It magnifies and multiplies matters. Loud was the lie which that bell told, hanging in a clock-house at Westminster, and usually rung at the coronation and funeral of princes, having this inscription about it: — "King Edward made me, Thirty thousand and three, Take me down and weigh me, And more you shall find me."But when this bell was taken down at the doom's-day of abbeys, this and two more were found not to weigh twenty thousand. Many tales of fame are found to shrink accordingly. (W. Fuller.)
