i_o have_v discuss_v the_o nature_n the_o character_n and_o the_o effect_n of_o envy_n and_o do_v we_o yet_o believe_v the_o scripture_n do_v we_o allow_v the_o proposition_n be_v we_o convince_v in_o earnest_a that_o envy_n be_v a_o foolish_a and_o a_o destructive_a vice_n i_o be_o sure_a we_o may_v for_o it_o can_v be_v represent_v so_o deform_v so_o fatal_a as_o indeed_o it_o be_v will_v they_o not_o then_o who_o temper_n be_v a_o little_a tinctured_a with_o it_o be_v deliver_v of_o it_o will_v they_o not_o return_v again_o to_o the_o easy_a cheerfulness_n and_o candour_n of_o the_o human_a nature_n it_o be_v never_o too_o late_o resolution_n with_o a_o due_a application_n of_o mean_n will_v effectual_o cure_v the_o evil._n be_v please_v but_o to_o observe_v these_o follow_a rule_n and_o you_o shall_v never_o be_v trouble_v with_o the_o distemper_n more_o and_o this_o be_v the_o four_o and_o last_o particular_a i_o propose_v to_o consider_v viz._n the_o method_n of_o recovery_n and_o in_o the_o first_o place_n he_o that_o will_v be_v free_a from_o envy_n must_v endeavour_v to_o deserve_v as_o well_o as_o may_v be_v both_o of_o god_n and_o man._n true_a virtue_n give_v a_o man_n a_o humble_a opinion_n of_o himself_o acquaint_v he_o with_o his_o own_o defect_n or_o what_o he_o be_v not_o as_o well_o as_o what_o he_o be_v it_o give_v he_o such_o a_o solid_a peace_n as_o he_o will_v not_o lose_v to_o gain_v the_o world_n it_o enlarge_v his_o spirit_n and_o make_v he_o less_o solicitous_a about_o reward_n calm_a and_o easy_a under_o any_o disappointment_n it_o be_v virtue_n only_o that_o can_v subdue_v our_o passion_n but_o a_o spirit_n true_o good_a will_v become_v insensible_o the_o master_n of_o itself_o again_o if_o you_o will_v be_v free_a from_o envy_n you_o must_v bring_v your_o mind_n to_o a_o good_a opinion_n of_o your_o own_o condition_n the_o imperfection_n of_o our_o present_a state_n or_o our_o capacity_n of_o enjoy_v a_o great_a deal_n more_o than_o we_o can_v have_v here_o dispose_v we_o to_o a_o continual_a desire_n of_o that_o which_o we_o have_v not_o and_o a_o loathe_n of_o that_o which_o we_o have_v or_o to_o set_v a_o great_a value_n upon_o the_o possession_n of_o other_o and_o less_o upon_o our_o own_o than_o they_o deserve_v but_o we_o shall_v never_o be_v clear_a of_o envy_n till_o we_o have_v discipline_v our_o mind_n into_o a_o better_a opinion_n for_o that_o which_o we_o eager_o desire_v we_o shall_v be_v angry_a if_o we_o do_v obtain_v he_o than_o that_o will_v be_v easy_a in_o his_o mind_n must_v govern_v his_o desire_n and_o make_v the_o best_a of_o what_o he_o have_v he_o must_v be_v glad_a that_o he_o enjoy_v so_o many_o thing_n and_o that_o he_o needs_o or_o want_n so_o few_o there_o be_v upon_o the_o matter_n

all_o good_n he_o therefore_o who_o will_v be_v free_a from_o envy_n must_v turn_v his_o eye_n within_o we_o live_v among_o innumerable_a contingency_n we_o can_v have_v all_o or_o what_o we_o will_v
