for is it not common to all good things, to come attended with envy? Was not Christ envied? Was not Paul? Have not the best been? Yea, we must endure envy even from our nearest kindred. The brother must be prepared to suffer the envy of the brother, the sister of the sister, and must be able to hold their spirits in such order, that they may not less love one that envies them, which yet is hard to love those that use us ill. For by how ⟨p. 99⟩much envy proveth more implacable than other kinds of grudges, by so much carnal reason will bid us to be more apt unto it; but Gods Spirit frames men to a gentle carriage. Pray God to make you of such a temper, that you may be able to show kindness even to him that envies you.
