Evil speaking.
1. to a man.
2. of a man.

1. Evil speaking to
a man may have
for its object either
good or evil – if
good, good to himself
or good to others than
himself – if to
others than himself
good to yourself or
good to others at
large.

As to evil
without good, that
is impossible; for
no evil ever is or
can be done but
with a view to good.
The least possible
good is in this case,
where it is thro' ill
will to the man that
you do the evil,
without doing good
in any shape, other
than that of a
gratification to
your own ill will:
which gratification,
is in the supposition
of your concerning
yourself to have
received evil at
his hands, and to
be acting in consideration
of such evil, is
called vengeance or
revenge. But
let the evil thus
done by you be never
to enormous and
the gratification to
be derived from it
ever so slight, still
the object, for the
contemplation of
which the act found
its motive, is in
itself not evil
but good.
To do good to a man
the evil you speak
must be to him
not of him unless
it be in the view
that what is said
of him may in
some way or other
be for his good
have the effect of
drawing on him
punishment at
the hands of the
