John Trapp on James 4:5

Verſe 5. That the Scripture ſaith in vain] No: it doth not only ſay, but do: not only convince us that an evil and an envious ſpirit poſſeſſeth us (ſuch a ſpirit as luſteth to have other mens abilities eclipſed, that ſo our candle might ſhine alone) but alſo it giveth more grace: it not only convinceth, but converteth the ſoul, Pſal. 19.7. It cauſeth a man to rejoyce heartily in the good parts of others; and this is more then to excell others in any excellency, if this be wanting.
