第16章

LET not the Sun in Capricorn go down upon thy wrath, but write thy wrongs in Ashes. Draw the Curtain of night upon inJuries, shut them up in the Tower of Oblivionand let them be as though they had not been. To forgive our Enemies, yet hope that God wiIl punish them, is not to forgive enough. To forgive them our selves, & not to pray God to forgive them, is a partial piece of Charity. Forgive thine enemies totally, and without any reserve, that however God will revenge thee. Even when the Days are shortest.

Alluding unto the Tower of Oblivion mentioned by Procopius, which was the name of a Tower of Imprisonment among the Persians; whoever was put therein was as it were buried alive, and it was death for any but to name him.
