In my view, the Christian religion is the most important and one of the first things in which all children, under a free government ought to be instructed... No truth is more evident to my mind than that the Christian religion must be the basis of any government intended to secure the rights and privileges of a free people. Preface to 1828 Dictionary

AVENGE, v.t. avenj'. [L. vindex.]
Jer. 5.
1913 Definition
To take vengeance for; to exact
satisfaction for by punishing the injuring party; to vindicate by
inflicting pain or evil on a wrongdoer.
He will avenge the blood of his servants. Avenge, O Lord, thy slaughtered saints, whose
bones He had avenged himself on them by havoc such as
England had never before seen. To treat revengefully; to wreak vengeance
on.
[Obs.]
Thy judgment in avenging thine enemies. Syn. -- To Avenge, Revenge. To avenge is to inflict punishment upon evil doers in behalf of ourselves, or others for whom we act; as, to avenge one's wrongs; to avenge the injuries of the suffering and innocent. It is to inflict pain for the sake of vindication, or retributive justice. To revenge is to inflict pain or injury for the indulgence of resentful and malicious feelings. The former may at times be a duty; the latter is one of the worst exhibitions of human character. I avenge myself upon another, or I avenge
another, or I avenge a wrong. I revenge only myself, and that
upon another. To take vengeance.
Levit. xix. 18. Vengeance; revenge.
[Obs.] Spenser. | ||||||||
Noah Says...
They choose men, not because they are just men, men of religion and integrity, but solely for the sake of supporting a party. This is a fruitful source of public evils. But as surely as there is a God in heaven, who exercises a moral government over the affairs of this world, so certainly will the neglect of the divine command, in the choice of rulers, be followed by bad laws and as bad administration; by laws unjust or partial, by corruption, tyranny, impunity of crimes, waste of public money, and a thousand other evils. Men may desire and adopt a new form of government; they may amend old forms, repair breaches and punish violators of the constitution; but there is, there can be no effectual remedy, but obedience to the divine law.
