Becauſe I follow the thing that good is] This was Devil-like indeed: this was to hate and perlecute God in David. Tertul. Thus Cain the Devils Patriarch hated his brother Abel, and ſlew him: And why? Becauſe his own works were evil, and his brothers righteous, 1 Joh. 3.12. For like cauſe Meab fretted at Iſrael, Numb. 22.324 and the Courtiers at Daniel, chap. 6.5.
