James3:16

16 For where envy and strife is , there is confusion , and every evil work .

The usual Companions of this devilish Wisdom.

Or, Inconsistency, viz. both with Man's self, and others; Envy makes him unquiet in himself, and troublesome to others, by causing Contentions and Seditions among them, and breaking their Peace, as well as his own.

All manner of Wickedness is ushered in by this Confusion and Sedition.

Marginal references: 1 Cor. 3.3. Gal. 5.20.; Gr. Tumult, or [illegible: 2 letters]quietness.
