Two guides to a good life The genealogy of vertue and the nathomy of sinne. Liuely displaying the worth of one, and the vanity of the other.

Hurt what.

HVrt is, when in our owne person or by the meanes of others thorough mallice or enuy, wee study to empoue∣rish, wound, maime or hinder another man, whom in dutye and religion, we are bounde, to pardon, helpe and suc∣cour: for he that will forgiue, shall be forgiuen, and he that will shew mercie shall haue mercy; but to the cruel, like measure of cruelty shalbe extended.

This branch of Enuie differeth from reuenge in this, that reuenge alwayes followes vpon some offence, but hurte is oftentimes practised vppon a malici∣ous and hatefull stomach without any

precedent quarell or displeasure; and therefore this kinde of enuie is called the enuie of the diuell, who hates and striueth to hurt the whole race of man∣kind, not for any damage they can doe vnto him, but vppon an inueterate ha∣tred.
