They compassed me about also with words of deceit, and fought against me without a cause.
For my love they are my adversaries; but I give myself unto prayer.
And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love. Psal. cix, 3, 4, 5.
Seek not to be judge, being not able to take away iniquity; lest at any time thou fear the person of the mighty, and lay a stumbling-block in the way of thy uprightness.
Offend not against the multitude of a city, and then thou shalt not cast thyself down among the people.
Bind not one sin upon another, for in one thou shalt not be unpunished. Eccl. vii, 6, 7, 8.
Non jam prima peto Mnestheus, nequt vincere certo:
Quanquam O! Sed superent, quibus hoc, Neptune, dedisti.
