[ 1450] Prosperity for the most part draws Envy to it.
SHeep that have most Wool,* 1.1 are soonest fleeced; The fattest Oxe comes soonest
••o the slaughter; The barren Tree grows peaceably, no Man meddles with
the Ash or Willow; but the Appletree and the Damosin shall have many rude
suiters: David a Shepheard was quiet; but David a Courtier was pursued by his
Enemies: Thus it is,* 1.2 that Prosperity is an Eye-sore to many, and a prosperous
condition for the most part draws Envy to it, whereas he that carries a lesser
sail, that hath lesse Revenues, hath lesse Envy; such as bear up with the greatest
Front, and make the greatest shew in the World are the White, for Envy and Ma∣lice
to shoot at.
