surprise_v effect_n of_o liberality_n be_v still_o master_n of_o the_o good_a he_o have_v give_v away_o liii_o a_o man_n must_v either_o have_v the_o command_n of_o his_o money_n or_o the_o money_n

have_v this_o ill_a quality_n that_o it_o rejoice_v at_o the_o evil_a and_o ruin_n of_o other_o without_o the_o least_o advantage_n to_o itself_o so_o that_o it_o be_v not_o so_o much_o a_o passion_n as_o a_o distraction_n when_o as_o it_o common_o happen_v it_o derive_v its_o own_o trouble_n and_o punishment_n from_o the_o joy_n and_o content_v of_o other_o how_o unhappy_a be_v they_o over_o who_o this_o shameful_a passion_n be_v predominant_a and_o how_o be_v they_o to_o be_v bemoan_v since_o not_o only_o real_a evil_n but_o also_o whatever_o they_o discover_v that_o be_v good_a and_o

happiness_n of_o other_o contribute_v to_o its_o torment_n lv._o we_o may_v fit_o compare_v envy_n to_o that_o kind_n of_o stone_n wherewith_o man_n whet_v knife_n so_o envy_n be_v good_a only_o to_o give_v a_o edge_n to_o the_o tongue_n yet_o be_v it_o of_o some_o advantage_n for_o one_o to_o be_v blame_v and_o reprove_v by_o a_o evil_a speaker_n and_o we_o common_o find_v that_o they_o who_o be_v whole_o incline_v to_o be_v detractor_n can_v forbear_v speak_v against_o the_o most_o just_a and_o virtuous_a lvi_o it_o be_v better_a to_o be_v the_o mark_n of_o envy_n than_o the_o object_n of_o flattery_n the_o condition_n of_o a_o envious_a person_n be_v a_o thousand_o time_n worse_o than_o that_o of_o a_o man_n visit_v with_o the_o plague_n nay_o some_o stick_v not_o to_o affirm_v that_o it_o be_v better_a be_v possess_v with_o the_o devil_n than_o with_o envy_n we_o find-indeed_n that_o envy_n be_v ill_o qualify_v which_o way_n soever_o we_o consider_v it_o the_o malice_n attend_v it_o be_v most_o abominable_a and_o the_o punishment_n consequent_a thereto_o be_v yet_o more_o strange_a than_o be_v imagine_v lvii_o we_o must_v say_v further_o that_o envy_n be_v a_o

because_o it_o chastise_v he_o who_o hearken_v to_o it_o and_o follow_v it_o condemn_v he_o to_o such_o dreadful_a torment_n as_o surpass_v all_o imagination_n lviii_o there_o be_v hardly_o any_o

only_o to_o make_v a_o prey_n of_o it_o be_v therefore_o mistrustful_a of_o a_o flatterer_n as_o of_o the_o most_o cruel_a of_o all_o your_o enemy_n the_o covetous_a person_n know_v he_o better_o than_o any_o one_o it_o be_v too_o slight_a a_o character_n to_o say_v that_o flattery_n be_v a_o refine_a kind_n of_o lie_v but_o it_o must_v be_v add_v that_o it_o be_v a_o infamous_a piece_n of_o treachery_n for_o the_o wicked_a person_n in_o the_o world_n think_v it_o not_o much_o to_o speak_v advantageous_o of_o other_o and_o to_o oblige_v they_o beyond_o his_o ability_n when_o himself_o be_v therein_o concern_v he_o have_v at_o that_o time_n all_o appearance_n of_o a_o real_a friend_n and_o he_o sometime_o make_v sufficient_a discovery_n thereof_o and_o yet_o he_o do_v all_o the_o

overtake_v as_o one_o who_o will_v run_v away_o have_v a_o leg_n break_v lx._n a_o man_n be_v never_o more_o eloquent_a than_o when_o he_o be_v in_o necessity_n and_o if_o ever_o he_o be_v likely_a to_o make_v use_n of_o far-fetched_a and_o extraordinary_a sentence_n it_o must_v be_v when_o he_o find_v himself_o oblige_v to_o represent_v his_o exigency_n truth_n be_v strong_a than_o all_o reason_n and_o it_o be_v she_o to_o speak_v proper_o that_o keep_v up_o the_o vigour_n of_o the_o mind_n and_o yet_o man_n be_v common_o so_o indispose_v that_o they_o can_v digest_v nay_o hardly_o taste_v the_o truth_n if_o it_o be_v not_o a_o little_a disguise_v lxi_o love_n can_v be_v legitimate_a or_o rational_a unless_o it_o have_v good_a for_o its_o object_n we_o do_v amiss_o therefore_o in_o love_v what_o be_v contrary_a to_o we_o and_o what_o be_v not_o in_o a_o capacity_n to_o hurt_v we_o but_o only_o when_o we_o place_v our_o affection_n on_o it_o must_v it_o not_o be_v a_o misfortune_n in_o love_n for_o one_o to_o love_v the_o cause_n of_o his_o misfortune_n to_o this_o rank_n be_v they_o reduce_v who_o love_n fortune_n and_o slight_a virtue_n lxii_o the_o serenity_n which_o the_o soul_n sometime_o be_v in_o and_o the_o joy_n it_o feel_v be_v the_o fruit_n or_o if_o you_o please_v the_o just_a recompense_n of_o her_o love_n a_o man_n be_v not_o only_o happy_a when_o he_o direct_v his_o affection_n to_o ward_n good_a but_o he_o also_o participate_v of_o the_o quality_n of_o the_o thing_n belove_v and_o become_v true_o good_a the_o high_a point_n of_o
