Christ's certain and sudden appearance to judgment. By Thomas Vincent, sometime Minister of Maudlins…

15. Come forth all ye envious and malicious persons, You that have grieved at the good of others, which they have […], or done; that have grieved at the good •states of others, and that they have thrived faster than you in the World; that have grieved at the sweet and comfortable Relations of others, and that yours have not been like to them; that have grieved at the beauty or strength of Body, the gifts and endowments of mind of […] beyond ⟨p. 85⟩that your selves have had; that have grieved at the […] […] of others, that they have been esteemed and presence […] before your selves; that have grieved because others ••ve done more good, and been more useful than your •••ves; and hence have secretly hated them; and have been […] towards them in your minds: and have entertained thoughts and desires of doing them some mischief: and were glad when any mischief did befall them: You, you have been children of the Devil indeed, and the likeness & lusts of your Father you have had: was your eye evil because God was Good? Did not God put the difference between them and you? and should not you have been contented was not God good to you, and had not you reasons to […] thankful? Did not you put a stop to the Currant of […] goodness by your envy: did not you lose the comfort of the good things you had, by this sin? did not you […] […] the benefit you might had by the good things of others? should not you have rejoiced in their good things? If you had loved them indeed, would not you have done it? Did not you rack and torment your selves by […] ••vie? had you been humble, would you have been […] […]? had your affections been set upon things above, […] this sin have so much prevailed? had you been […] desirous to promote Gods glory, would you have been so much concerned, that your glory should […] […], whe•• Gods Glory was advanced, though by others more […] your selves? Were you not warned to […] aside all […] and malice, if you would be Christians indeed: if you […] put your spirits under my Government, would not […] conquered by my Spirit their inordinate motions should not you have found sweetness and comfort in love, if […] had laboured after, and lived in the exercise of […] Grace: Did you not know that these were works of the flesh which would exclude you the kingdom of […] Take the Devils, bind them hand and foot.
