J It is also in some kind more crimi- nal in a religious, to retain in mind these little rancours, than for a secular to desire a signal revenge upon his enemies. Wherefore if your brother has offended you on any occasion, say not, / will do to him as he has done to me :\ I will use him as he has used me, for this proceeds from an exasperated mind, that harbours a desire of revenge.
But it is not euough that we harbour no desire of revenge, we must also take great care of another thing, which p...eople of the world look upon as lawful. I do not wish such a one, say they, any mischief, but I will have nothing more to do with nim; and thus they conceive such a bitterness and aversiou in their hearts, against those by whom they have been once of * Uoua. Xii. 17. | Mat. Si. 12. X l'rov. Xxiv. T'. T.
LOiJ OF UNION AND fended, that they cannot afterwards have any feeling for them or converse with them for the future with any satisfaction. But if we condemn this in seculars, so far as to call in ques- tion whether they have satisfied their obligation of charity, because hence it often happens that they converse no more together, and give scandal thereby to their neighbour; how much more is it to be condemned in us, that there should still remain a disgust and bitterness of heart against our brother, by looking upon him no more, as we did yesterday and the day before?* This is far from the spirit of religion.
