Romans12:17
Verſe 17. Recompenſe to no man] In reaſon, revenge is but juſtice: Aristotle commends it: the world cals it Manhood, Ariſt Rhetor. lib. 9 cap. 1. 'tis doghood rather. The manlier any man is, the milder and more mercifull, as David, 2 Sam. 1.12. and Julius Caeſar, who wept over Pompeys head preſented to him, and ſaid, Non mihi placet vindicta, dicta, ſed victoria, I ſeek not revenge, but victory.
