Others there are, whom the Lord giveth over to be tormented 1with the hungry fury of unsatiablenesse, whereby it cometh to pass that all which they get of these worldly vanities, serveth but as fuel to increase the flames of their lusts, as drink to their dropsy desires which nourish the disease but do not quench their thirst, as sauces which rather sharpen the appetite then allay their hunger, and as wind in the stomach which filling satisfieth not but rather tormenteth: the ambitious man can never be satisfied with honour, but is more tormented when he seeth but one above him, then delighted when he seeth thousands under him, & is more vexed with one supposed disgrace, then contented with innumerable honours which are done unto him, as ⟨p. 211⟩appeareth in the example of Haman who was even sick with 2grief and despite when only Mordecai neglected him, though all the rest of the emperors court did him obeisance.
