Wise. Alas! men that are wicked themselves, yet greatly hate it in others, not simply because it is wickedness, but because it opposeth their interest. Do you think that that Maids master would have been troubled at the loss of her, if he had not lost, with her, his gain: No, I'll warrant you; she might have gone to the Devil for him: ⟨p. 104⟩But when her master saw that the hope of his gain was gone, 1then, then he fell to persecuting Paul. But Mr. Badmans master did sometimes lose by Mr. Badmans sins, and then Badman and his master were at odds.
