After obtain- ing a definition of the deadly sin of envy sufficiently exact for our purpose, we saw that envy possessed both a positive and a negative side ; the first a matter of feeling, the second a matter of action. We then ob- served that envy may be exerted towards our superiors, our equals, and our inferiors; and this ...in two ways, cither in word or deed, actively ; or in thought, pas- sively. Of these two different kinds of envy, excited by three different classes of persons, we have con- sidered the case of envy towards our equals passive envy in thought, that is, malice; and active envy in word, that is, detraction. Then, we illustrated malice under a fourfold division, of emulation, of rivalry, of jealousy, of discontent. And lastly, we spoke of de- traction, direct and indirect, as well as of the detraction of suggestion and innuendo.
