ld Fierce balls of rape into th incestuous world:Astrea fled, and love returnd From earth, earth boild with lust, with rage itburnd,And ever since the world hath been Kept going with the scourge of lust and spleen. S. Ambrose.Lust is a sharp spur to vice, which always putteth theaffections into a false gallop. Quarles* Emblems. \ \ Hugo. Lust is an immoderate wantonness of the flesh, apoison, a cruel pestilence; a pernicious poison, whichweakeneth the body of man, and effeminateth the strength of an heroic mind. S. August.Envy is the hatred of anothers felicity : in respect ofsuperiors, because they are not equal to them ; in respect ofinferiors, lest he should be equal to them ; in respect ofequals, because they are equal to them. Through envyproceeded the fall of the world, and death of CHRIST. EPIG. 5.What, Cupid, must the world be lashd so soon ?But made at morning, and be whipt at noon ?Tis like the wag, that plays with Venus doves,The more tis lashd, the more perverse it proves.
