The other affection which hath his beginning of Heaviness or Grief, is called Nemesis: 1the same hath no Latin word, although of some it be called Indignatio, that is Indignation, which yet by that word do not express all that affection: for Indignation extendeth farther than Nemesis. 2But leaving the word, let us thus define the thing. Nemesis is a grief, which is taken for the prosperity of wicked men, because they seem unworthy of that fortune. Just and holy men are sick oftentimes of this affection. David when he saw the ungodly flourishing, said: My feet were almost moved. Habakkuk also, was grieved that the ungodly were of such force, that they could oppress the saints, and devour the just. And Job seemeth in a manner to complain unto his friends for the same thing. Farther Plutarch in the life of Homer praiseth this affection,3 and by occasion thereof he far preferreth the Peripatetics in disputing of Affections before the Stoics, & especially by the judgement of Homer, who affirmeth that God at the length will angerly punish, after that the wicked have a certain while flourished. Howbeit this is to be observed, that men are not grieved with this affection, for that they shall suffer any loss, by reason of the prosperous success of the wicked, or because that they by their power can hurt them. For if they were in this manner grieved, they should not be troubled with Nemesis, but rather with fear. But Nemesis is then, when a man for the lucky success of the wicked, is moved with astomake & hatred of the unworthiness of the person.
The other affection which hath his beginning of Heuinesse or Grief, is called Nemesis: 1the same hath no Lattin worde, although of some it be called Indignatio, that is Indignation, which yet by that word do not expresse all that affectiō: for Indignation extendeth farther than Nemesis. 2But leauyng the word, let vs thus define the thing. Nemesis is a grief, which is taken for ye prosperity of wicked men, bycause they seme vnworthy of that fortune. Iust and holy men are sicke oftentymes of this affectiō. Dauid when he saw the vngodly florishing, said: My fete were almost moued. Abacuk also, was grieued that the vngodly were of such force, that they could oppresse the saintes, and deuoure the iust. And Iob semeth in a maner to complayne vnto his friends for the same thing. Farther Plutarche in the lyfe of Homere praiseth this affection,
