Against Envy.

ENvy is the most abominable of Sins: Hell never produced one more to be abhorred. Other Sinners have some pleasure; but the Envious Man torments himself, whilst he torments o∣thers. Envy hath been the cause of all mischief. This crime is so much the more dangerous, because no Penance is enjoyned for it. Men fansie they may blot it out by some small Alms, or a short Fast; they do not weep bitterly for it, as for Adultery or Fornication, &c.

These are some of S. Chrysostom's Notions about Envy, taken out of the 40th. Homily upon S. Matthew. One may read upon the same Subject the Homily upon Pasl. 49. Hom. 37. upon S. John, the 3d. upon 1 Cor. the 24th. and 27th. upon 2 Cor. and the 3d. upon the Epistle to the Philippians.
