Ecclesiastes4:4

Verſ. 4. That for this a man is envied of his neighbour] This is another peece of lifes vanity; that as greater men will lye heavie upon you and oppreſſe you, ſo meaner men will be envying at you, and oppoſe you; as Cain did Abel, Sauls Courtiers did David, the Peers of Perſia, Daniel; the Scribes and Phariſees, our Saviour: Every Zopyrus ſhall be ſure to have his Zoilus. The garment of righteouſneſſe, party-coloured with all variety of graces, is a great eye-ſore to the wicked, and makes the Saints maligned. See Prov. 27.4. with the note there.
