In Elizabethan England the term madness was oft used to denote something similar to the current Merriam-Webster definition of the term - "behavior or thinking that is very foolish or dangerous." But much the same as it's usage today, the term is subjective. It usually specified a lack of ability to reason. And to be reasonable at the time was to conform to the Christian/Aristotelian world view that included a reverence and appreciation of virtue and condemnation of sin as essential to the preservation of earthly and by extension cosmic order.
