EMulation is griefe arising from that our Equals possesse such goods as are had in honour, and whereof we are capable, but have them not; not because they have them, but because not wee also.
No man therefore Emulates another in things whereof him∣selfe is not capable.
Apt to Emulate are,
Objects of Emulation are, for things,
For Persons,
The contrary of Emulation is Contempt.
And they that Emulate such as have the goods afore mentioned, Contemne such as have them not: and thence it is, that men who live happily enough, unlesse they have the goods which men ho∣nour, are neverthelesse Contem∣ned.
