do_v passionate_o desire_v the_o same_o thing_n it_o be_v necessary_a it_o shall_v rather_o be_v among_o equal_n then_o where_o there_o be_v no_o equality_n nor_o comparison_n for_o that_o man_n be_v natural_o desirous_a to_o excel_v in_o all_o thing_n and_o to_o exceed_v their_o companion_n this_o desire_n do_v always_o breed_v a_o contention_n betwixt_o such_o as_o pretend_v the_o same_o thing_n and_o from_o this_o contention_n envy_n be_v engender_v and_o therefore_o the_o philosopher_n do_v right_o teach_v that_o this_o passion_n be_v always_o find_v among_o equal_n and_o therefore_o they_o which_o do_v much_o exceed_v other_o in_o glory_n be_v above_o their_o envy_n feel_v not_o themselves_o to_o be_v cross_v and_o we_o observe_v that_o as_o the_o sun_n at_o noon_n day_n make_v no_o shadow_n so_o eminent_a virtue_n be_v exempt_a from_o the_o jealousy_n of_o envy_n and_o yet_o they_o can_v avoid_v the_o assault_n of_o hatred_n as_o for_o example_n cyrus_n and_o alexander_n the_o great_a in_o their_o age_n and_o in_o our_o time_n henry_n the_o great_a be_v raise_v to_o the_o height_n of_o worldly_a glory_n by_o the_o greatness_n of_o their_o courage_n have_v so_o surmount_v envy_n as_o in_o the_o end_n they_o find_v themselves_o without_o concurrence_n but_o they_o can_v not_o so_o vanquish_v the_o hatred_n of_o the_o wicked_a but_o they_o be_v expose_v to_o their_o rage_n especial_o this_o last_o the_o love_n and_o delight_n of_o prince_n who_o a_o execrable_a parricide_n deprive_v of_o his_o life_n when_o as_o the_o whole_a world_n honour_v his_o valour_n moreover_o that_o which_o make_v these_o invincible_a resolution_n to_o triumph_v over_o envy_n be_v for_o that_o no_o man_n can_v contend_v any_o more_o with_o they_o of_o glory_n whereof_o have_v attain_v the_o full_a despair_v to_o surmount_v they_o or_o to_o equal_v they_o do_v shadow_v they_o from_o the_o jealousy_n of_o all_o the_o world_n and_o for_o the_o same_o reason_n they_o which_o have_v attain_v to_o that_o height_n of_o glory_n see_v their_o virtue_n raise_v and_o advance_v to_o so_o high_a a_o degree_n as_o all_o they_o that_o will_v be_v their_o concurrent_n can_v attain_v unto_o it_o they_o envy_v no_o man_n but_o rather_o disdain_n and_o contemn_v all_o the_o world_n as_o incapable_a to_o mount_v unto_o that_o height_n whereunto_o they_o have_v raise_v themselves_o as_o for_o example_n there_o be_v no_o private_a knight_n that_o do_v envy_v the_o power_n and_o lustre_n of_o a_o king_n diadem_n neither_o do_v the_o king_n envy_v his_o fortune_n in_o like_a manner_n there_o be_v no_o capuchin_n or_o simple_a religious_a man_n that_o do_v bear_v envy_n to_o the_o pope_n authority_n or_o crown_n or_o who_o condition_n also_o the_o pope_n do_v malice_n but_o if_o by_o some_o notable_a disaster_n a_o potent_a king_n or_o a_o great_a bishop_n shall_v decline_v and_o be_v reduce_v to_o a_o more_o base_a fortune_n and_o condition_n in_o which_o they_o that_o be_v before_o their_o inferior_n may_v hope_v to_o become_v their_o companion_n and_o equal_n then_o there_o be_v no_o obstacle_n but_o envy_n may_v rise_v betwixt_o they_o see_v that_o there_o may_v be_v a_o concurrence_n envy_n then_o discover_v itself_o betwixt_o equal_n and_o those_o that_o be_v alike_o the_o which_o must_v be_v understand_v of_o those_o which_o be_v alike_o according_a to_o their_o degree_n and_o power_n but_o be_v unlike_a in_o their_o fortune_n and_o prosperity_n consider_v that_o in_o this_o last_o point_n he_o which_o bear_v envy_n be_v always_o inferior_a in_o some_o kind_n to_o he_o who_o he_o envy_v at_o the_o least_o in_o those_o thing_n which_o cause_n this_o torment_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n there_o be_v not_o any_o thing_n that_o do_v so_o much_o beget_v envy_n as_o those_o thing_n which_o concern_v honour_n whereby_o the_o ambitious_a be_v perpetual_o affect_v for_o that_o they_o be_v always_o in_o contention_n with_o some_o one_o for_o pre-eminence_n and_o glory_n yea_o what_o glory_n soever_o man_n enjoy_v yet_o for_o that_o they_o imagine_v the_o honour_n they_o have_v not_o be_v due_a unto_o they_o and_o that_o it_o be_v as_o it_o be_v ravish_v away_o by_o such_o to_o who_o the_o world_n have_v give_v it_o they_o do_v common_o bear_v envy_n to_o all_o those_o that_o have_v any_o lustre_n or_o share_n of_o it_o they_o also_o which_o have_v a_o conceit_n of_o their_o wisdom_n or_o which_o think_v themselves_o to_o be_v virtuous_a be_v wonderful_o subject_a to_o envy_v i_o say_v those_o that_o imagine_v and_o suppose_v these_o thing_n for_o that_o they_o which_o be_v true_o virtuous_a and_o true_o wise_a content_v themselves_o with_o their_o proper_a virtue_n and_o with_o their_o own_o wisdom_n &_o know_v themselves_o to_o be_v true_o worthy_a of_o honour_n affect_v no_o other_o glory_n neither_o do_v they_o feed_v themselves_o with_o wind_n and_o smoke_n whereas_o such_o as_o have_v but_o the_o name_n of_o wise_a and_o virtuous_a hunt_v passionate_o after_o this_o vanity_n and_o desire_v to_o be_v honour_v and_o praise_v of_o all_o the_o world_n show_v a_o wonderful_a despite_n against_o those_o that_o contemn_v they_o and_o for_o this_o reason_n they_o be_v inflame_v with_o envy_n against_o such_o as_o be_v advance_v to_o great_a honour_n cowardly_a mind_n be_v in_o like_a manner_n subject_a to_o envy_n for_o that_o be_v fainthearted_a when_o as_o they_o see_v thing_n of_o small_a price_n shine_v in_o other_o they_o esteem_v they_o great_a and_o worthy_a to_o be_v envy_a like_v unto_o little_a child_n who_o see_v a_o piece_n of_o glass_n or_o a_o pin_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o those_o of_o their_o age_n afflict_v themselves_o and_o strive_v to_o take_v it_o away_o they_o also_o which_o have_v attain_v to_o some_o good_a with_o wonderful_a pain_n be_v envious_a to_o see_v another_o attain_v unto_o the_o like_a without_o any_o difficulty_n and_o especial_o if_o the_o facility_n which_o he_o have_v find_v be_v prejudicial_a or_o dishonourable_a unto_o they_o as_o they_o which_o have_v spend_v many_o year_n to_o learn_v paint_v and_o philosophy_n envy_v such_o as_o be_v grow_v perfect_a in_o a_o short_a time_n especial_o when_o they_o be_v to_o make_v profession_n in_o the_o same_o city_n final_o they_o against_o who_o we_o conceive_v any_o envy_n must_v not_o be_v far_o distant_a from_o we_o either_o in_o place_n time_n age_n dignity_n honour_n or_o such_o like_a so_o as_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o paris_n and_o france_n do_v not_o envy_v those_o of_o the_o great_a cayre_n or_o china_n in_o like_a manner_n we_o bear_v no_o envy_n to_o those_o who_o have_v favourable_a fortune_n two_o or_o three_o thousand_o year_n since_o neither_o do_v we_o see_v that_o king_n envy_v the_o fortune_n of_o alexander_n or_o of_o caesar_n although_o they_o may_v enter_v into_o some_o emulation_n of_o their_o valour_n in_o like_a sort_n we_o envy_v not_o the_o dead_a or_o those_o which_o be_v not_o yet_o come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o there_o be_v no_o appearance_n that_o a_o young_a man_n though_o issue_v from_o a_o noble_a family_n shall_v envy_v grave_a old_a man_n which_o enter_v into_o a_o council_n of_o state_n in_o like_a manner_n a_o attorney_n of_o the_o court_n can_v envy_v a_o chancellor_n of_o france_n be_v so_o far_o short_a of_o his_o dignity_n neither_o do_v shepherd_n envy_v the_o crown_n and_o sceptre_n of_o king_n nor_o merchant_n malice_n general_n of_o army_n with_o who_o charge_n their_o quality_n have_v so_o little_a proportion_n but_o our_o envy_n be_v kindle_v against_o those_o who_o glory_n do_v as_o it_o be_v dazzle_v our_o eye_n with_o their_o continual_a presence_n which_o make_v we_o to_o think_v of_o the_o baseness_n of_o our_o condition_n the_o which_o we_o see_v deject_a under_o they_o but_o especial_o when_o as_o they_o possess_v a_o good_a which_o we_o have_v enjoy_v and_o which_o be_v no_o more_o in_o our_o power_n to_o recover_v by_o reason_n whereof_o it_o often_o happen_v that_o old_a man_n envy_v the_o young_a sort_n for_o that_o be_v in_o company_n they_o see_v that_o their_o age_n take_v from_o they_o the_o use_n or_o forbid_v they_o the_o enjoy_n of_o those_o sport_n and_o exercise_n wherein_o young_a man_n take_v delight_n and_o this_o envy_n which_o they_o bear_v they_o appear_v in_o the_o rigour_n which_o they_o show_v they_o in_o their_o reprehension_n which_o they_o make_v they_o and_o in_o the_o hindrance_n they_o give_v they_o when_o as_o they_o may_v cross_v they_o moreover_o the_o thing_n that_o may_v be_v profitable_a or_o commodious_a unto_o we_o stir_v up_o more_o envy_n than_o those_o which_o be_v only_o proper_a to_o he_o that_o envy_v they_o wherefore_o we_o do_v more_o envy_v our_o equal_n for_o their_o beauty_n riches_n knowledge_n and_o honour_n then_o for_o their_o health_n
