he. has. involved his fellow creatures;rbat
this satisfaction will be embittered by the
recollection that others may be seeking
his ruin, as he has sought theirs. His
conscience too, however scared, will oc-
casionallY awake, and sting him with the
faithful and horrid picture of his owntem-
per and conduit and Of the awful conse-
quences Of. his crimes. "The wicked are
like the troubled sea when it cannot rest;
whose waters cast up mire and dirt
There is no peace, saith my God. to the
wicked."-But the man, who having scrip
ture evidence that his own transeressions
are pardoned,. and that he is, an object of
divine favor, cordially forgives all who
have injured him, is at peace with himself,
at peace with his Maker, and, as far as his
own heart is concerned, at peace with all
mankind. The calmness and tranquility
of his own bosom enables him to watch
the motions of others, to discover their
schemes and Illustrate their designs. He
is secure in the appreciation of his Creator;
and looks forwards with holy transport,
to the time when he shall receive the full
fruits of his favor. Such enjoy ments at
present, and such: prospects for the future
will abundan!ly compensate for the sacri-
fee Of the mean, inhuman and impious
qualifications Of revenge.
The conduct and disposition here re-
commended is also well adapted to confer
the most important benefits on the ofen-
ders towards whom tits exercised. Hard
as the human hear. naturally is, and per-
verse as the .tempers Of too many appear
to.be, yet judicious and perseyering dis
play Of this benevolent and amiable dis
position has happy tendency to soften
the most obdurate and to correct the most
depraved natures. If man suffer not
himself to be overcome of evil, he has o
prospect and no very uncertain one, of
overcoming evil with good. "If thine
enemy hunger" says the apostle, "feed
him; if he thirst, give him drink; for in so
doing thou, shalt heap Goals of ile on his
hcad:" that is, as the whole context shows,
" thou shalt melt his stubborn and unso-
cial temper, as the most solid metals are
melted in the furnance, till it flows out in
streams Of bsnevolence and piety."'--
When such an effect is produced, what an
important benefit is conferred on the in
dividual, who is transformed, from mise
rable and ferocious savage to gentle,
humane and happy member of society.
And how is the blessing increased, when
this lovely exhibition of Christian excely
lence leads him to embrace the offers OF
the gospel, and secures to him eternal
bliss. Il
How important then, for the honor Of
the religion which they profess, for the
welfare Of society, and, for their own COM
fort and credit, that all who are called by
the name Of Christ, should earnestly and
constantly pray for grace eonscientiously
to reduce to practice the comprehensive
exhortation Of the great apostle Of the
gentiles.-"Let all bitterness and wrath,
and anger, and Glamour. and evil speaking
be put away from you with all malice; and
and be ye kind; to one another, tender
hearted, forgiving one another, even as
God, for Chris,'s sake, has forgiven you"
