word_n wanton_a gesture_n and_o dainty_a fare_n with_o many_o other_o pleasure_n do_v because_v unto_o sin_n and_o if_o there_o be_v no_o wine_n why_o hang_v the_o bush_n and_o if_o there_o be_v no_o

the_o apostle_n that_o you_o will_v not_o walk_v in_o strife_n and_o envy_v therefore_o put_v away_o these_o among_o the_o rest_n for_o he_o that_o have_v not_o put_v off_o these_o have_v not_o put_v on_o christ_n and_o if_o he_o have_v not_o put_v on_o christ_n he_o be_v then_o no_o christian_a envy_n be_v a_o sin_n and_o it_o punish_v itself_o like_o gluttony_n for_o it_o fret_v the_o heart_n shorten_v the_o life_n and_o eat_v the_o flesh_n as_o a_o fire_n consume_v the_o wood_n it_o be_v the_o mother_n of_o strife_n and_o a_o great_a worker_n in_o the_o court_n this_o be_v it_o which_o bring_v labour_n and_o sickness_n and_o death_n into_o the_o world_n even_o the_o envy_n of_o the_o serpent_n and_o the_o devil_n and_o it_o will_v condemn_v thou_o in_o thy_o conscience_n if_o thou_o be_v a_o envious_a man_n nothing_o resemble_v god_n more_o than_o love_n for_o god_n be_v love_n so_o if_o thou_o have_v love_n thou_o resemble_v god_n but_o if_o thou_o have_v envy_n and_o be_v a_o adversary_n thou_o resemble_v the_o devil_n for_o thou_o can_v not_o come_v near_o the_o devil_n any_o way_n than_o to_o be_v envious_a as_o the_o dust_n come_v with_o the_o wind_n so_o the_o devil_n come_v with_o envy_n and_o he_o that_o be_v possess_v with_o envy_n be_v possess_v with_o the_o devil_n why_o do_v the_o apostle_n say_v in_o the_o three_o chapter_n of_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o colossian_n above_o all_o thing_n put_v on_o love_n because_o love_n be_v best_a of_o all_o why_o do_v he_o call_v love_v the_o band_n of_o perfection_n because_o it_o bind_v all_o virtue_n together_o if_o love_n be_v the_o band_n of_o perfection_n to_o bind_v all_o virtue_n together_o then_o envy_n be_v the_o band_n of_o impiety_n to_o bind_v all_o sin_n together_o therefore_o if_o we_o must_v cast_v off_o all_o but_o love_n we_o must_v cast_v off_o envy_n thou_o can_v not_o come_v to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o peace_n without_o love_n the_o kingdom_n of_o satan_n be_v at_o peace_n and_o shall_v not_o god_n kingdom_n be_v at_o peace_n shall_v we_o be_v at_o peace_n with_o the_o flesh_n the_o world_n and_o the_o devil_n and_o be_v at_o variance_n with_o god_n and_o at_o strife_n one_o with_o another_o fire_n be_v cruel_a wrath_n be_v rage_v but_o who_o can_v stand_v before_o envy_n proverb_n 27._o and_o if_o none_o can_v stand_v before_o envy_n how_o can_v envy_n stand_v before_o god_n if_o thou_o can_v not_o forgive_v he_o that_o do_v offend_v thou_o thou_o pray_v against_o thyself_o and_o ask_v vengeance_n upon_o thou_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n exhort_v thou_o not_o to_o let_v the_o sun_n go_v down_o upon_o thy_o wrath_n ephes_n 5._o 26._o charity_n envy_v not_o say_v paul_n therefore_o see_v thou_o have_v charity_n lest_o thou_o be_v count_v a_o envious_a person_n the_o beast_n of_o the_o field_n be_v arm_v with_o horn_n with_o hoof_n with_o tusk_n and_o such_o like_a to_o take_v revenge_n but_o nature_n have_v leave_v nothing_o for_o man_n to_o put_v he_o in_o mind_n of_o revenge_n and_o yet_o man_n above_o all_o other_o creature_n be_v most_o desirous_a of_o revengment_n for_o he_o hate_v his_o own_o life_n therefore_o it_o be_v against_o nature_n to_o envy_v john_n say_v he_o that_o hate_v his_o brother_n be_v a_o manslayer_n and_o love_v not_o god_n neither_o know_v god_n if_o a_o envious_a man_n say_v he_o say_v he_o love_v god_n he_o be_v a_o liar_n because_o he_o hate_v his_o image_n if_o he_o say_v he_o know_v god_n he_o be_v a_o liar_n how_o can_v thou_o love_v god_n and_o hate_v good_a man_n &_o how_o can_v thou_o love_v learning_n when_o thou_o hate_v the_o learned_a so_o do_v the_o envious_a man_n all_o both_o good_a and_o bad_a therefore_o this_o be_v the_o worst_a sin_n because_o it_o come_v near_o the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n consider_v therefore_o who_o thou_o hate_v even_o thy_o image_n the_o devil_n be_v appoint_v to_o hate_v man_n and_o not_o man_n to_o hate_v man_n and_o if_o thou_o hate_v a_o good_a man_n thou_o hate_v god_n if_o thou_o hate_v a_o evil_a man_n thou_o hate_v one_o like_o thyself_o and_o if_o thou_o hate_v one_o like_o thyself_o thou_o hate_v thy_o own_o soul_n therefore_o as_o s._n paul_n say_v have_v peace_n with_o all_o man_n can_v thou_o not_o hate_v the_o sin_n and_o love_v the_o person_n as_o the_o physician_n hate_v the_o disease_n and_o yet_o love_v the_o disease_a as_o a_o great_a many_o of_o bee_n can_v lodge_v together_o in_o a_o hive_n so_o a_o legion_n of_o devil_n can_v nestle_v together_o in_o one_o man_n but_o many_o although_o they_o can_v live_v asunder_o yet_o they_o can_v live_v together_o wherefore_o now_o consider_v the_o pedigree_n of_o peace_n god_n be_v the_o god_n of_o peace_n the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v the_o spirit_n of_o peace_n the_o angel_n be_v the_o messenger_n of_o peace_n the_o minister_n be_v the_o preacher_n of_o peace_n and_o the_o magistrate_n be_v the_o defender_n of_o peace_n shall_v we_o then_o that_o have_v the_o god_n of_o peace_n the_o spirit_n of_o peace_n the_o messenger_n of_o peace_n the_o preacher_n of_o peace_n the_o magistrate_n of_o peace_n &_o as_o i_o may_v say_v the_o queen_n of_o peace_n be_v at_o envy_n and_o war_n one_o with_o another_o marvel_v not_o though_o i_o be_o so_o long_o upon_o this_o sin_n for_o there_o be_v none_o of_o you_o that_o hear_v i_o this_o day_n but_o you_o can_v give_v i_o sufficient_a matter_n to_o speak_v hereof_o then_o can_v i_o want_v word_n when_o you_o bring_v matter_n shall_v i_o not_o wrestle_v and_o seek_v to_o overthrow_v this_o giant_n which_o challenge_v every_o man_n as_o no_o man_n find_v a_o serpent_n leave_v he_o before_o he_o be_v dead_a so_o let_v we_o slaughter_v this_o monster_n while_o he_o be_v under_o the_o axe_n that_o he_o never_o rise_v any_o more_o consider_v of_o the_o wrong_n thou_o do_v to_o thyself_o when_o thou_o envy_v another_o for_o the_o stroke_n of_o envy_n redound_v unto_o thou_o it_o be_v better_a thou_o do_v gratulate_v they_o with_o good_a thing_n as_o good_a man_n have_v do_v and_o do_v daily_a but_o in_o stead_n of_o imitate_v their_o virtue_n or_o commend_v their_o gift_n we_o envy_v they_o and_o malign_v they_o and_o so_o their_o joy_n be_v our_o sorrow_n but_o the_o envious_a man_n do_v pay_v for_o his_o spite_n for_o it_o requoyle_v upon_o himself_o and_o envy_n be_v punish_v with_o envy_n and_o hatred_n also_o with_o hatred_n for_o he_o which_o hate_v all_o shall_v be_v hate_v of_o all_o thus_o he_o be_v torment_v for_o another_o as_o herode_fw-la torment_v himself_o for_o christ_n &_o the_o jew_n trouble_v themselves_o for_o paul_n for_o envy_n be_v as_o gall_v to_o the_o heart_n as_o prick_v to_o the_o stomach_n and_o as_o a_o canker_n in_o the_o mouth_n and_o ever_o vex_v thou_o as_o the_o evil_a spirit_n of_o saul_n vex_v he_o love_n be_v so_o contrary_a to_o envy_v as_o that_o it_o have_v more_o joy_n of_o other_o welfare_n than_o envy_n have_v of_o his_o own_o therefore_o a_o envious_a man_n may_v be_v compare_v to_o cain_n who_o when_o he_o kill_v his_o brother_n abel_n be_v so_o trouble_v that_o he_o say_v whosoever_o find_v i_o shall_v kill_v
