Wrathful and revengeful affections, whereof malice and 1hatred are not the least, are of a spreading and increasing nature: like fire, the longer it continueth (especially having matter to work upon) the further it spreadeth it self, and the hotter it waxeth. But the fore-named affections can never want fuel. Goodness it self, by reason of the malignant disposition of such as are malicious, becomes fuel to 2the fire of malice and hatred. These fiery affections therefore may fitly and justly be added to the number of those things that are never satisfied, nor will say, It is enough. (Pro. 30. 15.) Especially against truth and virtue is malice always mad.
