Consider the following...
He is unlike God, that is hurried with an unruly impetus to punish others for wronging him… God has exercised a long-suffering from the fall of Adam to this minute on innumerable subjects, and shall we be transported with a desire of revenge upon a single injury?…How distant are they from the nature of God, who are in a flame upon every slight provocation, from a sense of some feeble and imaginary honour, that must bloody their sword for a trifle, and write their revenge in wounds and death.
— Stephen Charnock
