He knows not how to live, that kno•••• not how to bear Wrongs. David Chiterus.
The Mercies and Forgiveness that I find and hope for, at the Lords hands, engageth and disposeth me to forgive Injuries and Abuses done to me: And I should not think it much, that I, who am so sinful, should bear some Contumelies and Abuses from Men. Corbet.
The more Men Wrong thee, the more watchfully maintain thy Love to them. Ibid.
When that another hath spoken to thy Disgrace, beware of a transport of Anger, that thou speak not harshly and unadvisedly against him, or too Passi∣onately, or as too much concerned for self. Ibid. Vid. Wrongs.
