1. A removal of an inward Grudge, and endeavours after private Revenge: Lev. 19. 17, 18. Thou shalt not hate thy Brother in thine Heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy Neighbour, and not suffer Sin upon him: thou shalt not avenge nor bear any grudge against the Children of thy People, but thou shalt love thy Neighbour as thy self: Thou shalt not bear a Grudge against him, for then you hate him in your Heart.

2. There must be a readiness to do all Duties of Love, and Kindness to him who hath done the wrong, as God ministereth Occasion and Ability. There are many Laws for this, Exod. 23. 4, 5.
