On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

It is true even right works are often envied, Eccl. iv. Yet they are not so apt to be so when those who do them appear not to be proud of them. Those are malignant indeed who seek to cast down from their excellency those that humble and abase themselves, (2.) It is likewise the surest method of ending strife, for only by pride comes contention, Prov. xiii.
