Again, malice hath another foul and shameful effect, viz. to bring forth lying one of another. For if they can get any shameful report of others, which is true, they will not stick, but cast it forth: but if they can get no truth, they will invent lies against them to disgrace them. But the Apostle saith, that though it be truth, yet we ought not to revile one another, nor to use any such reports, by repeating their sins: for it is the duty of the magistrate or minister to rebuke, not of a private man in his own quarrel to revenge himself.
Againe, malice hath another foule and shamefull effect, viz. to bring forth lying one of another. For if they can get any shamefull report of others, which is true, they will not sticke, but cast it forth: but if they can get no truth, they will inuent lyes against them to disgrace them. But the Apostle saith, that though it be truth, yet we ought not to reuile one another, nor to vse any such reports, by repeating their sinnes: for it is the duty of the magistrate or minister to rebuke, not of a priuate man in his owne quarrell to reuenge himselfe.
