They both have vehement wishes; they frame themselves readily into imaginations and suggestions; and they come easily into the eye, especially upon the present of the objects; which are the points that conduce to fascination, if any such thing there be. see likewise, the Scripture calleth envy an evil eye; and the astrologers, call the evil influences of the stars, evil aspects; so that still there seemeth to be acknowledged, in the act of envy, an ejaculation or irradiation of the eye. Nay, some have been so curious, as to note, that the times when the stroke or percussion of an envious eye doth most hurt, are when the party envied is beheld in glory or triumph; for that sets an edge upon envy: and besides, at such times the spirits of the person envied, do come forth most into the outward parts, and so meet the blow.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut leaving these curiosities (though not unworthy to be thought on, in fit place), we will handle, what persons are apt to envy others; what persons are most subject to be envied themselves; and what is the difference between public and private envy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA man that hath no virtue in himself, ever envieth virtue in others. For men’s minds, will either feed upon their own good, or upon others’ evil; and who wanteth the one, will prey upon the other; and whoso is out of hope, to attain to another’s virtue, will seek to come at even hand, by depressing another’s fortune.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA man that is busy, and inquisitive, is commonly envious. For to know much of other men’s matters, cannot be because all that ado may concern his own estate; therefore it must needs be, that he taketh a kind of play-pleasure, in looking upon the fortunes of others. Neither can he, that mindeth but his own business, find much matter for envy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTABLE OF CONTENTS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE GREAT INSTAURATION\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE ADVANCEMENT OF LEARNING\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE NEW ORGANON OR TRUE DIRECTIONS CONCERNING THE INTERPRETATION OF NATURE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAPHORISMS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE ESSAYS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOF TRUTH\u003cbr\u003eOF DEATH\u003cbr\u003eOF UNITY IN RELIGION\u003cbr\u003eOF REVENGE\u003cbr\u003eOF ADVERSITY\u003cbr\u003eOF SIMULATION AND DISSIMULATION\u003cbr\u003eOF PARENTS AND CHILDREN\u003cbr\u003eOF MARRIAGE AND SINGLE LIFE\u003cbr\u003eOF ENVY\u003cbr\u003eOF LOVE\u003cbr\u003eOF GREAT PLACE\u003cbr\u003eOF BOLDNESS\u003cbr\u003eOF GOODNESS AND GOODNESS OF NATURE\u003cbr\u003eOF NOBILITY\u003cbr\u003eOF SEDITIONS AND TROUBLES\u003cbr\u003eOF ATHEISM\u003cbr\u003eOF SUPERSTITION\u003cbr\u003eOF TRAVEL\u003cbr\u003eOF EMPIRE\u003cbr\u003eOF COUNSEL\u003cbr\u003eOF DELAYS\u003cbr\u003eOF CUNNING\u003cbr\u003eOF WISDOM FOR A MAN’S SELF\u003cbr\u003eOF INNOVATIONS\u003cbr\u003eOF DISPATCH\u003cbr\u003eOF SEEMING WISE\u003cbr\u003eOF FRIENDSHIP\u003cbr\u003eOF EXPENSE\u003cbr\u003eOF THE TRUE GREATNESS OF KINGDOMS AND ESTATES\u003cbr\u003eOF REGIMENT OF HEALTH\u003cbr\u003eOF SUSPICION\u003cbr\u003eOF DISCOURSE\u003cbr\u003eOF PLANTATIONS\u003cbr\u003eOF RICHES\u003cbr\u003eOF PROPHECIES\u003cbr\u003eOF AMBITION\u003cbr\u003eOF MASQUES AND TRIUMPHS\u003cbr\u003eOF NATURE IN MEN\u003cbr\u003eOF CUSTOM AND EDUCATION\u003cbr\u003eOF FORTUNE\u003cbr\u003eOF USURY\u003cbr\u003eOF YOUTH AND AGE\u003cbr\u003eOF BEAUTY\u003cbr\u003eOF DEFORMITY\u003cbr\u003eOF BUILDING\u003cbr\u003eOF GARDENS\u003cbr\u003eOF NEGOTIATING\u003cbr\u003eOF FOLLOWERS AND FRIENDS\u003cbr\u003eOF SUITORS\u003cbr\u003eOF STUDIES\u003cbr\u003eOF FACTION\u003cbr\u003eOF CEREMONIES AND RESPECT\u003cbr\u003eOF PRAISE\u003cbr\u003eOF VAIN–GLORY\u003cbr\u003eOF HONOR AND REPUTATION\u003cbr\u003eOF JUDICATURE\u003cbr\u003eOF ANGER\u003cbr\u003eOF FAME\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE NEW ATLANTIS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVALERIUS TERMINUS: OF THE INTERPRETATION OF NATURE","brand":"Complete Works of Francis Bacon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47173421105392,"sku":"2940014712521","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940014712521_p0.jpg?v=1763622541","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940014712521","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
