“Let us declare then on what account the framing Artificer settled the formation of this universe. He was good; and in the good envy is never engendered about anything whatever. Hence, being free from this, he desired that all things should as much as possible resemble himself.”
Also Milton, Paradise Lost , I 259:—
“The Almighty hath not built
Here for his envy.”
“The Almighty hath not built Here for his envy.”
