ever_o they_o shall_v hearken_v to_o a_o reconciliation_n since_o it_o be_v so_o impetuous_a in_o its_o motion_n that_o it_o make_v a_o man_n despise_v his_o own_o life_n to_o prosecute_v his_o revenge_n nay_o die_v with_o joy_n and_o consolation_n if_o he_o can_v but_o crush_v his_o enemy_n with_o his_o own_o fall_n from_o hence_o we_o may_v learn_v the_o violence_n of_o hatred_n that_o there_o be_v no_o torment_n but_o it_o despise_v no_o crime_n so_o enormous_a but_o it_o resolve_v on_o it_o present_o to_o far_a its_o furious_a instigation_n if_o the_o property_n of_o this_o passion_n be_v so_o very_o strange_a its_o effect_n be_v fatal_a she_o be_v the_o occasion_n of_o all_o the_o tragical_a action_n which_o swell_v up_o history_n and_o indeed_o he_o who_o follow_v her_o counsel_n be_v capable_a of_o commit_v any_o thing_n this_o hellish_a passion_n teach_v we_o that_o man_n can_v die_v in_o the_o flower_n of_o his_o age_n without_o any_o distemper_n and_o that_o a_o brother_n be_v not_o always_o safe_a in_o the_o company_n of_o his_o brother_n she_o give_v we_o first_o the_o curse_a instruction_n of_o mix_v poison_n with_o drink_n and_o murder_a people_n under_o the_o colour_n of_o hospitality_n it_o be_v she_o and_o not_o avarice_n tear_v up_o the_o bowel_n of_o the_o earth_n to_o furnish_v instrument_n for_o her_o cruelty_n she_o teach_v we_o to_o kill_v man_n decent_o and_o make_v we_o approve_v of_o a_o parricide_n if_o it_o be_v but_o according_a to_o art_n in_o a_o word_n after_o she_o have_v pronounce_v most_o bloody_a sentence_n as_o a_o judge_n she_o will_v herself_o have_v the_o pleasure_n of_o execute_v they_o as_o a_o hangman_n the_o good_a use_n of_o hatred_n all_o the_o work_n of_o nature_n be_v perfect_a and_o can_v without_o jnjustice_n become_v object_n of_o our_o hatred_n another_o like_v what_o i_o do_v not_o and_o what_o displease_v my_o sight_n gratify_v his_o smell_n and_o what_o nature_n have_v produce_v of_o most_o unacceptable_a aspect_n be_v a_o foil_n to_o the_o most_o charm_a and_o illustrate_v the_o variety_n of_o the_o create_v being_n all_o such_o thing_n than_o must_v be_v exempt_v from_o the_o violence_n of_o this_o passion_n sin_n only_o can_v be_v its_o proper_a and_o legitimate_a object_n and_o that_o with_o this_o reservation_n too_o that_o our_o own_o offence_n be_v rather_o

goodness_n by_o our_o implacable_a hatred_n of_o iniquity_n it_o be_v a_o act_n of_o justice_n to_o abominate_a sin_n and_o david_n think_v he_o show_v his_o love_n to_o god_n when_o he_o demonstrate_v his_o hatred_n to_o his_o enemy_n and_o therefore_o cease_v praise_v he_o to_o curse_v the_o wicked_a and_o ungodly_a to_o make_v our_o hatred_n meritorious_a as_o be_v that_o of_o the_o royal_a prophet_n it_o must_v have_v those_o two_o condition_n with_o it_o which_o his_o have_v that_o be_v we_o must_v hate_v sin_n but_o not_o nature_n we_o must_v detest_v the_o work_n of_o the_o
