Inference 2.
How dangerous a thing is it to abuse and wrong meek and forgiving Christians? 1Their patience and easiness to forgive, often invites injury, and encourages vile spirits to insult and trample upon them; but if men would seriously consider it, there's nothing in the world should more scare and affright them from such practices than this. You may abuse and wrong them, they must not avenge themselves, nor repay evil for evil; true, but because they do not, the Lord will; even the Lord to whom they commit the matter; and he will do it to purpose, except ye repent.
