Verse. 20. The poor is hated even of his own neighbour: but the friends of the rich are many.
Verse. 20. The poore is hated euen of his owne neighbour: but the friends of the rich are manie.
The poor, he that is fallen into poverty, or disgrace with great personages, is hated of his neighbour, they that dwell by him, and his kinsfolks, and old acquaintance, and such as were wont ⟨p. 117⟩to be familiar with him, being yet but carnal men, will altar their countenance and behaviour towards him, and pick quarrels against him, and take any occasion to alienate themselves from him. But the friends of the rich are many, divers fawn on the wealthy, and flatter them, and make a fair show of love & good will, when as notwithstanding they bear no such affection to them in their hearts.
