of_o old_a time_n thou_o shall_v not_o kill_v and_o whosoever_o shall_v kill_v shall_v be_v in_o danger_n of_o the_o judgement_n but_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o that_o whosoever_o be_v angry_a with_o his_o brother_n without_o a_o cause_n shall_v be_v in_o danger_n of_o the_o judgement_n and_o whosoever_o shall_v say_v to_o his_o brother_n racha_n i.e._n thou_o empty_v or_o despicable_a fellow_n or_o the_o like_a shall_v be_v in_o danger_n of_o the_o council_n but_o whosoever_o shall_v say_v thou_o fool_n shall_v be_v in_o danger_n of_o hell-fire_n from_o which_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o the_o christian_a law_n do_v forbid_v all_o malice_n and_o revenge_n not_o only_o actual_o do_v hurt_v to_o any_o but_o all_o contumelious_a language_n and_o cherish_v even_o the_o least_o revengeful_a thought_n but_o yet_o how_o apt_a be_v humane_a nature_n to_o retain_v the_o memory_n of_o a_o suppose_a injury_n how_o prone_a be_v a_o man_n to_o have_v a_o grudge_n in_o his_o heart_n against_o his_o brother_n perhaps_o he_o will_v carry_v a_o fair_a show_n of_o charity_n but_o yet_o his_o conscience_n tell_v he_o there_o lurk_v rancour_n or_o at_o least_o a_o grudge_a in_o his_o heart_n and_o it_o be_v a_o difficult_a matter_n to_o bring_v he_o into_o a_o better_a mind_n but_o he_o must_v be_v of_o a_o better_a mind_n if_o he_o will_v be_v a_o christian_a indeed_o and_o he_o must_v not_o only_o forgive_v a_o enemy_n but_o forget_v he_o too_o this_o as_o be_v very_o probable_a have_v be_v the_o true_a cause_n of_o keep_v many_o person_n from_o the_o lord_n table_n who_o rather_o than_o they_o will_v lay_v aside_o some_o little_a punctilio_n or_o other_o and_o be_v clothe_v with_o that_o humility_n 5._o which_o become_v christian_n in_o order_n to_o a_o reconciliation_n they_o will_v obstinate_o deprive_v their_o soul_n of_o that_o inestimable_a benefit_n this_o now_o be_v diametrical_o opposite_a to_o the_o spirit_n of_o christianity_n i_o shall_v lay_v down_o rule_n for_o the_o suppress_n this_o kind_n of_o evil_a thought_n and_o they_o be_v brief_o these_o follow_v first_o the_o consideration_n of_o what_o christ_n jesus_n our_o master_n who_o have_v forbid_v all_o uncharitable_a thought_n have_v do_v for_o we_o how_o can_v any_o one_o think_v of_o revenge_n who_o have_v receive_v such_o favour_n and_o immunity_n as_o every_o christian_a have_v at_o the_o hand_n of_o his_o redeemer_n how_o unlike_o a_o christian_n be_v it_o to_o cherish_v so_o much_o as_o a_o envious_a desire_n how_o different_a from_o the_o mind_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o charity_n of_o a_o forgive_a jesus_n who_o have_v do_v and_o suffer_v more_o for_o we_o his_o enemy_n than_o it_o be_v possible_a to_o express_v true_o therefore_o to_o consider_v this_o serious_o be_v a_o sufficient_a check_n to_o all_o such_o thought_n as_o these_o and_o a_o proper_a mean_n to_o eject_v they_o it_o be_v a_o hard_a matter_n for_o a_o man_n to_o be_v so_o profligate_v as_o to_o take_v pleasure_n in_o the_o misfortune_n or_o lapse_n of_o other_o who_o consider_v how_o much_o he_o himself_o be_v indebt_v to_o the_o goodness_n of_o god._n to_o devise_v a_o revenge_n or_o calumny_n upon_o his_o bed_n against_o any_o person_n to_o seek_v occasion_n to_o discover_v a_o mote_n in_o his_o brother_n eye_n to_o proclaim_v his_o error_n as_o upon_o the_o housetop_n and_o to_o represent_v his_o mistake_n to_o be_v his_o vice_n to_o slander_v backbite_v and_o defame_v his_o neighbour_n and_o to_o support_v his_o own_o reputation_n or_o estate_n on_o the_o ruin_n of_o another_o when_o any_o of_o these_o thing_n be_v the_o buisiness_n of_o any_o man_n thought_n he_o be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v a_o true_a disciple_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n that_o he_o be_v in_o the_o very_a gall_n of_o bitterness_n and_o in_o the_o bond_n of_o iniquity_n beside_o the_o great_a uneasiness_n that_o such_o thought_n be_v to_o the_o mind_n that_o harbour_v they_o and_o the_o effectual_a hindrance_n that_o they_o be_v to_o holy_a duty_n they_o carry_v in_o they_o a_o very_a great_a dissimilitude_n to_o the_o temper_n of_o the_o meek_a the_o kind_n and_o the_o charitable_a jesus_n show_v to_o our_o self_n which_o to_o one_o that_o make_v conscience_n of_o his_o profession_n be_v a_o very_a heinous_a and_o detestable_a thing_n behold_v thy_o saviour_n hang_v upon_o his_o cross_n and_o pray_v for_o thou_o and_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o murderer_n and_o i_o shall_v think_v that_o sight_n will_v quick_o banish_v all_o revengeful_a grudge_a or_o uncharitable_a thought_n out_o of_o thy_o mind_n and_o make_v thou_o more_o easy_a and_o pleasant_a to_o thyself_o and_o more_o fit_v for_o thy_o duty_n second_o the_o consideration_n of_o what_o our_o own_o
