here_o forbid_v be_v that_o of_o revenge_n in_o the_o strict_a notion_n of_o it_o which_o both_o in_o its_o original_a attendant_n and_o end_n be_v so_o remote_a from_o the_o punishment_n of_o

be_v no_o man_n in_o the_o world_n to_o who_o any_o man_n in_o the_o world_n may_v recompense_v evil_a for_o evil_n 1._o first_o the_o evil_a here_o forbid_v to_o be_v recompense_v be_v not_o this_o or_o that_o evil_n only_o but_o evil_n indefinite_o and_o without_o limitation_n and_o so_o be_v comprehensive_a of_o all_o sort_n and_o degree_n of_o wrong_n that_o one_o man_n can_v receive_v from_o another_o whether_o it_o be_v that_o evil_n which_o be_v hurtful_a to_o his_o mind_n as_o grief_n and_o vexation_n or_o to_o his_o body_n as_o stripe_n and_o wound_n or_o to_o his_o good_n as_o

of_o the_o eye_n the_o envy_v the_o happiness_n of_o another_o or_o wish_v that_o mischief_n may_v befall_v he_o which_o he_o before_o wish_v may_v fall_v upon_o we_o in_o short_a there_o be_v no_o kind_n of_o evil_a that_o one_o man_n can_v do_v to_o another_o and_o therefore_o no_o mischief_n that_o one_o man_n can_v receive_v from_o another_o that_o the_o evil_n in_o the_o text_n do_v not_o extend_v to_o and_o consequent_o no_o kind_n of_o injury_n that_o we_o be_v not_o here_o forbid_v to_o recompense_v 2._o second_o we_o may_v recompense_v evil_a for_o evil_a these_o two_o way_n either_o first_o by_o repay_v evil_a in_o the_o same_o kind_n as_o by_o return_v blow_n for_o blow_n rail_v for_o rail_v or_o second_o by_o repay_v it_o in_o some_o other_o kind_n as_o by_o punish_v another_o in_o his_o estate_n for_o the_o injury_n he_o have_v do_v we_o in_o our_o body_n or_o good_a name_n and_o this_o recompense_n may_v be_v make_v either_o by_o ourselves_o or_o by_o procure_v that_o it_o be_v do_v by_o other_o that_o a_o man_n shall_v be_v his_o own_o avenger_n be_v not_o permit_v by_o god_n to_o the_o jew_n for_o that_o law_n of_o retaliation_n require_v 24._o exod._n

complaint_n make_v by_o the_o injure_a party_n and_o therefore_o it_o can_v be_v so_o much_o as_o imagine_v that_o such_o a_o liberty_n as_o this_o shall_v be_v indulge_v to_o christian_n who_o hand_n be_v more_o close_o and_o strong_o tie_v up_o from_o retaliate_v of_o injury_n than_o the_o jew_n be_v nor_o be_v it_o enough_o for_o a_o christian_n not_o to_o repay_v himself_o the_o wrong_n he_o have_v receive_v but_o he_o be_v moreover_o oblige_v not_o to_o procure_v or_o endeavour_v no_o nor_o so_o much_o as_o desire_v that_o it_o may_v be_v repay_v by_o other_o some_o person_n who_o ready_o grant_v that_o they_o may_v not_o avenge_v themselves_o by_o their_o own_o hand_n think_v they_o may_v be_v allow_v to_o do_v it_o by_o the_o minister_n of_o public_a justice_n in_o case_n therefore_o of_o any_o injury_n receive_v their_o next_o work_n be_v to_o address_v to_o the_o magistrate_n and_o under_o the_o specious_a pretence_n of_o law_n and_o justice_n to_o wreak_v their_o revenge_n upon_o their_o offend_a brother_n whereas_o this_o be_v in_o truth_n to_o recompense_v evil_a as_o much_o as_o the_o other_o for_o though_o the_o executioner_n be_v not_o the_o same_o yet_o what_o difference_n be_v there_o as_o to_o the_o thing_n itself_o whether_o a_o man_n receive_v the_o same_o wound_n from_o my_o own_o hand_n or_o from_o the_o hand_n of_o another_o that_o be_v set_v
