It’s
the spirit of envy that makes one
want to appear as a good casuist,
a good confessor, a fine preacher.
Ah, let’s esteem others but
humble ourselves and keep
God alone in view in our actions,
remembering what Our Lord said
to His disciples, ‘Rejoice, not
because of those brilliant deeds
you’re doing in the sight of
others, but because your names are
written in the book of life. (22
August 1659; SV XII, 258)
