2 We must be like them in innocency, free from malice and revenge, 1 Cor. 14.9. vex a child never so, and he tell you, I will tell my Father, and will not do so without great cause, but if he do, that is all; so should it be with christians, they should not easily complain, if they do, let this be all, make known your wrongs; we see children, though they be angry, yet they will not seek to revenge themselves.
