F 1 ciful dilpofitiou to thofc wlju have of
fended us, is an infallible mark of a great
and noh'c mind, and it is our, wdifpeufable
duty, as reafopabft creatures, but especially
so as Christians. Gallon, Marquis de Re
ny, an illustrious nobleman, was a soldier
and a Chriliian, and bid the peculiar felicity
to reconcile the teeming oppofitioii between
thole diifete.it characters. He had a com
fnau.l in the Fre.icn army, and had the mif
f i,tuite to receive a challenge from ape foil
of rkitiudion in the fame service. The mar
tinis returned for answer, that he was ready
to convince the gentleman tint he was in the
wrong, or if he could not convince him, as
ready to ask his pardon. The other not fa
t;sfij#d with this reply, infi.Ted upon his meet
ing him with the sword, to which the Mar
qms sent this answer ; “ that he was resolved
not to do it, fiifce God and his king had,for
l.idden it; otherwil'e he would have him
Know, that ail theyideavouis he had used to
pacify him, did not proceed from any fear of
hint, but of Almighty God and his dtfplea
f.ire ; that lie should go eVdry day about his
lifual bulinefs, aud if he did afiauU him, he
would make him' repent it.” The angry
man, not able to provoke him to a duel, and
meeting him one bay by chande, drew his
1‘ vord, and the Marquis, who soon
wounded and disarmed both him and his fc
<ond, with the airuiance of a servant who at
tended him But then did this truly Chri
flian npbleman (hew the difference betwixt a
brutish and a'Chriflian courage; foY he led
their, to his tent, refreihed them with wine
aid cordials, caused their wounds to be
dressed, and their swords to be' restored to
them, dismissed them with ChnfliaiY 4 and
friendly advice, and was never heat'd to men
• ti, m the affair afterwards, even to his neared
friends’. I: was an nfual faying with him,
tbayhere was mote true courage andgeae
rofity in bearing aud forgiving an injury for
the lova of God, than in requiting it with
another, iu fuffering rather than revengiug ;
hecaufe the thing was really more difficult:
hut it was a brutal courage ; whereas that of
men should be such as became rcalonable
Chriflians.
ABUH HANiEAH, a molt eelebratd
doflor of the orthodox muflulmans, having
caufclcLly received a malicious and violent
blow do the tare, spoke thus to him who
flruck him : “ I could return you injury for
the injury you have ddfie me ; but I will not.
X could also inform agaiult you to the Kha
lit ; but I will not be an informer. I could
iu any prayers and addreffrt to God, repie
feut the outrage done me'; but I Will forbear
that. In fine, Icould'at the day of judg
ment delife God to revenge it ; but far be it
from me. Nay, fhoOld that ternble'day it
-rive this very moment, and could ray mter
celfion then prevail, I would not cuter para
dife without you.” How noßfe an instance
of a calm, i'erene, and forgiving mind ! Hap
py were it for all Chriflians had they lived,
or could they refolvc to live, according to'
the dictates of this wife and virtuous Mahd*
