1 Thessalonians5:15
Verſe 15. See that none render] Nothing is ſo naturall to us; and Ariſtotle commends revenge as a piece of manhood, when indeed it is doghood rather. Excellently Lactantius, Non eſt minus malireferre injuriam, quam inferre. It is as bad to recompence Wrong as to do wrong. See the Notes on Mat. 5.44. & Rom. 12.17.
But ever follow that which is good] Not to doe good, is to do evil, not to ſave a man, when we can, is to deſtroy him, Mar. 3.4. See the Note there.
