Envious men “are like flies that love to be upon sores . . . When you see a man seeking to rake and gather together all he can of any distempers, disorders, mistakes, or miscarriages, by hearsay, letters, or in any other way, he does it so that he may fill up his dung cart. And as for the goods, the graces or gifts of God in men, those are laid aside or slightly passed over, it at all mentioned, and are mingled with some dirt” (Burroughs, Irenicum, pp. 179-180).
