John Trapp on Psalms 73:3

Verſ. 3. For I was envious at the fooliſh] Heb. At the Bragadochies, the vain-glorious, the mad-boaſters; I aemulated, and ſtomached their proſperity,Jact abundis compared with mine own far-worſe condition. Godly men though cured of their ſpirituall phrenzy, yet play oft many mad tricks; one while fretting at the proſperity of their adverſaries, and another while murmuring at their own afflictions, or plotting courſes how to conform themſelves to the World, &c.

When I ſaw the proſperity of the Wicked] This hath ever been a pearl in the eyes, not of the Heathens only, but of better meu. See Jer. 12.1, 2, Habbak. 1.3. Pſal. 37. &c. Yet Seneca writeth a treatiſe of it, and ſheweth the reaſons, if at leaſt he beleeved himſelf therein. Eraſmus paſſeth this cenſure of him; Read him as a Pagan, and he writeth Chriſtian-like,; read him as 2 Chriſtian, and he writeth Pagan-like.
