8. And do we not feel other tempers, which are as contrary to the love of our neighbour, as these are to the love of God? The love of our neighbour _thinketh no evil_: do not we find any thing of the kind? Do we never find any _jealousies_, any _evil surmisings_, any groundless or unreasonable suspicions? He that is clear in these respects, let him cast the first stone at his neighbour. Who does not sometimes feel other tempers or inward motions, which he knows are contrary to brotherly love? If nothing of _malice_, _hatred_ or _bitterness_, is there no touch of _envy_? Particularly toward those who enjoy some (real or supposed) good, which we desire, but cannot attain? Do we never find any degree of _resentment_, when we are injured or affronted? Especially by those whom we peculiarly loved, and whom we had most laboured to help or oblige. Does injustice or ingratitude never excite in us any desire of _revenge_? Any desire of returning evil for evil, instead of _overcoming evil with good_? This also shews, how much is still in our heart, which is contrary to the love of our neighbour. 9. _Covetousness_ in every kind and degree is certainly as contrary to this as to the love of God. Whether φιλαργυρία, _the love of money_, which is too frequently _the root of all evils_, or πλεονεξία, literally, a desire of _having more_, or increasing in substance. And how few even of the real children of God, are entirely free from both? Indeed one great man, _Martin Luther_ used to say, he “Never had any covetousness in him, (not only in his converted state, but) ever since he was born.” But if so, I would not scruple to say, he was the only man born of a woman, (except him that was God as well as man) who had not, who was born without it. Nay, I believe, never was any one born of God, that lived any considerable time after, who did not feel more or less of it many times, especially in the latter sense. We may therefore set it down as an undoubted truth, that _covetousness_, together with pride, and self-will and anger _remain_ in the hearts even of them that are justified.
