74. oldal - The first does much harm to mankind ; and a little good too, to some few : the second does good to none ; no, not to himself. The first can make no excuse to God, or angels, or rational men, for his actions : the second can give no reason or colour, not to the devil himself, for what he does ; he is a slave to Mammon without wages. The first makes a shift to be beloved ; ay, and envied too by some people : the second is the universal object of hatred and contempt.
