Proverbs27:2

2 Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth : a stranger, and not thine own lips.

Except it be really necessary, either for thy own just vindication, or for the honour of God, or for the edification of others, in which cases this hath been allowed and practised by wise and virtuous men, as particularly by St. Paul, 2 Cor. 11. 12.
