The great power of Envy. [ 688]

AS an Earthquake ariseth from a tumultuous vapour shut up in the Cav••••••s and bowels of the earth,* 1.1 where it tosseth and tumbleth, until it break out, and overturn all that standeth in the way of it: So envy is a pestilent vapour which lyeth in the bowels of a man,* 1.2 where it boyleth and fretteth, until it find occasion to vent it self, and then it tumbleth and throweth down all that standeth in the malttious eye of it; Houses and Trees stand firm against a Tempest of lightning, or a floud of rain, and men stand out against the cruelty of 〈◊〉〈◊〉 ath, and rage of a mans lasting anger: but what house or Tree, standeth against the force of an Earthquake; and who is able to stand before the force of Envy? Prov. 27. 4.
