If ever thou findest prejudice or envy working in thy mind, never come from thy knees without a stroke at that; and every temptation that nurseth pride, or moves thee to prejudice; fall to praying for the object that Satan moves thee to note. To be led by the temptation is giving place to the devil; to act counter to it, is to improve it to the honour of God, and the confusion of the adversary. I have found heaven upon earth in praying for those who without cause, have offended and injured me. I have met with the sensible approbation of God to my heart; and my prayer has procured an answer to my own bosom, whether it was heard in their behalf or not. God that searches the heart, best knows who they are that, in their heart, forgive their brethren their trespasses. God turned the captivity of Job when he prayed, though his prayer was put up for his friends; when in very deed they had behaved themselves more like enemies than friends; for they had not spoken the things that were right, even of God; nor had they convinced, though they had condemned Job.
