disposition, and spite to the manifestation of it in
words and actions. It is, therefore, meaner than
malice, thought not always more criminal. " Malice . .

dispositions of inferior minds to execute every
purpose of mischief within the more limited circle of
their abilities." --Cogan. "Consider eke, that spite
availeth naught." --Wyatt. See Pique.
