WHen you perceive your selfe to have suffered in∣juriously, and yet have the ad∣vantage on your side by reason of the wrong, doe not acquit or release them, though they would let you escape, till you let them know how they stand disabled by the act, and this sheds a kinde of obligation upon them for your curtesie.
Thus,
When the Magīstrates had bea∣ten
Paul and Silas, and heard they were Romans, they sent to release them, but Paul answered, Doe they thrust us out privily now they have beaten us openly? Nay verily, let them come themselves and fetch us out,
Acts 16. 36, 37.
