The second Hatred, which may arise from that ⟨p. 127⟩Fear which is caused by a secret guilt of mind, is of all others most corrupt and rancorous, namely an hatred of the Authors or Executioners of Justice; of the equity and justness of whose proceedings, we are from within convinced; such as is the malice and blasphemy of malefactors against the Judge, and of Devils and damned men against God and his righteous judgments, which yet they cannot but acknowledge that they most worthily do endure: for it is the nature of proud and stubborn creatures (as was before observed) Odisse quos laserint, first to wrong God, and then to hate him.
The second Hatred, which may arise from that ⟨p. 127⟩Feare which is caused by a secret guilt of minde, is of all others most corrupt and rancorous, namely an hatred of the Authors or Executioners of Iustice; of the equity and justnesse of whose proceedings, we are from within convinced; such as is the malice and blasphemy of malefactors against the Iudge, and of Devils and damned men against God and his righteous judgments, which yet they cannot but acknowledge that they most worthily doe endure: for it is the nature of proud and stubborne creatures (as was before observed) Odisse quos laserint, first to wrong God, and then to hate him.
Another particular cause of this passion may be a Disparity of Affections and Desires: for notwithstanding there be many times Hatred where there is Similitude (as those beasts and birds commonly hate one another, which feed upon the same common meat, as the Philosopher observeth)1 and sundry men hate their own vices in others, as if they had not the trade of sin enough to themselves, except they got a Monopoly, and might engross it; yet this ever proceeds from an apprehension of some ensuing inconveniences which are likely to follow there-from, as hath been formerly noted: So that in that very similitude of Natures, there is a disagreement of ends, each one respecting his own private benefit.
