Lastly, near kinsfolks, and fellows in office, and those that have been bred together, are more apt to envy their equals, when they are raised. For it doth upbraid unto them their own fortunes, and pointeth at them, and cometh oftener into their remembrance, and incurreth likewise more into the note of others; and envy ever redoubleth from speech and fame. Cain's envy was the more vile and malignant, towards his brother Abel, because when his sacrifice was better accepted, there was no body to look on. Thus much for those, that are apt to envy.

白话
最后,近亲、同僚和一起长大的人,更容易嫉妒平辈中升迁的人。因为这会提醒他们自己的境遇不如人,而且常常想起,也更容易被别人注意到;嫉妒还会因闲话和名声而加倍。该隐嫉妒亚伯就更卑劣,因为当亚伯的祭品被悦纳时,没有别人在场看见。总之,亲近和相似的人最容易嫉妒。要化解它,得把亲近者的成功看成自己的资源,而不是对自己的贬低。
