Envy is the deformed and distorted offspring of egotism and when we reflect on the strange and disproportioned character of the parent, we cannot wonder at the perversity and waywardness of the child.

Behold, O Lord, that I am indignant with myself, for my senseless, profitless, hurtful, perilous passions that I loathe myself, for these inordinate, unseemly, deformed, false, shameful, disgraceful passions that my confusion is daily before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me. Alas! woe, woe! O me, how long?
