There are some Pestilent Humours and Froward Natures, that Heaven it self
has much ado to please. _Envy_ Places it’s Happiness in the Misery and
Misfortune of Others; and _Avarice_ is never to be Pleas’d, unless it can
get All to it self. They may seem to be nearer a-Kin then in truth they
Are, though the One is seldom or never to be found without the Other.
The Best Use of This Application, is to Possess us with a True Sense of
the Restlesness of these Two Passions; and Consequently to make Those
Weaknesses Odious to our selves, that are so Troublesom to the World; and
in truth, no Better then the Common Pest of Mankind.
