King Saul he had this spirit of envy: therefore he1 had never rest day nor night, he could not abide when any man spake well of David: and this spirit of envying is more directly against charity then any other sin is.2 For saint Paul sayeth, Charitas non murder, charity envieth not: therefore take it so, that he that envieth another, is no child of GOD: All his works whatsoever he doeth are the devils service: he pleaseth GOD with nothing as long as he is an envious person. Who would be so mad now, as to be in such an estate? that he would suffer the devil to bear so much rule over him? No […] nor godly man will be in this […]. For it is an ill estate to be out of the favour of god, to be without […] ⟨image 123⟩sion of sin. Therefore whosoever is a envious man, let […] rise […] from that sleep, lest he be taken suddenly […] so be damned everlastingly.
Kynge Saule he hadde this spirite of enuye: therefore he1 hadde neuer reste daye nor nyghte, he could not abyde when anye man spake well of Dauid: and this spirite of enuying is more directely against charitye then anye other synne is.2 For sainete Paule sayeth, Charitas non murder, charity enuieth not: therfore take it so, that he that enuyeth another, is no chylde of GOD: All hys workes whatsoeuer he doeth are the deuylles seruyce: he pleaseth GOD wyth nothynge as longe as he is an enuious person. Who woulde bee so madde nowe, as to bee in suche an estate? that he woulde suffer the deuyll to beare so muche rule ouer him? No 〈…〉 nor godly man wilbe in this 〈…〉. For it is an yll estate to be out of the fauour of god, to bee without 〈…〉 ⟨image 123⟩sion of synne. Therfore whosoeuer is a enuious man, lette 〈…〉 ryse from that slepe, leste he be taken sodenly so be damned euerlastingly.
