John Trapp on Proverbs 24:29

Verſ. 29. Say not, I will doe ſo to him, as he hath done to me] Nothing is more natural than revenge of wrongs: and the world approves it as right temper, true touch: As, to put up wrongs is held towardiſe, and unmanlineſs. But we have not ſo learned Chriſt. Nay, thoſe that never heard of Chriſt, have ſpoken much againſt this vindictive diſpoſition. See the Note on chap. 20.22. and on Mat. 5.39. Rom. 12.17.

I will render to the man according to his works] But is not that Gods Office? And will you needs leap into his Chair, wring the Sword out of his hand? or at leaſt, will you be a Pope in your own cauſe, depoſe the Magiſtrate, or appeal from him to yourſelf? What Luciferian pride is this? Nemo te impunè laceſſit? Is not God the God of recompences?
