9. Reigning Malice and Envy against those that disrespect them, or are injurious to them, 1 Joh. 2. 9, 11. O how do many that seem to be religious remember injuries, and carry grudges, and will return men as good as they bring, rendering evil for evil, loving to take revenge, wishing evil to them that wrong them, directly against the rule of the Gospel, the pattern of Christ, and the nature of God, Rom. 12. 14, 17. 1 Pet. 2. 21, 23. Neh. 9. 17.
