Note, 1. Those that devise mischief contrive, for the accomplishing of
it, how to impose upon others; but it will prove, in the end, that they
deceive themselves. Those that imagine evil, under colour of
friendship, have their hearts full of this and the other advantage and
satisfaction which they shall gain by it, but it is all a cheat. Let
them imagine it ever so artfully, deceivers will be deceived. 2. Those
that consult the good of their neighbours, that study the things which
make for peace and give peaceable advice, promote healing attempts and
contrive healing methods, and, according as their sphere is, further
the public welfare, will have not only the credit, but the comfort of
it. They will have joy and success, perhaps beyond their expectation.
Blessed are the peace-makers.
