Proverbs14:30
30 A sound heart is the lise of the flesh ; but envy the rottenness of the bones .
Free from envy and such like inordinate passions, which are commonly called the Diseases of the Soul, not onely in Sacred, but even in Heathen Writers, Or, as others render it, An healing Heart, mild, and merciful, and kind to others, which is opposed to envy.
Procureth and maintaineth the health and vigor of the whole Body.
It wasteth the Spirits, and consumeth even the strongest and most inward parts of the Body.
