Usage : {
Slight }, {

To slight is stronger than to neglect .
We may neglect a duty or person from inconsiderateness ,
or from being over -
occupied in other concerns .
To slight is always a positive and intentional act ,
resulting from feelings of dislike or contempt .
We ought to put a kind construction on what appears neglect on the part of a friend ;
but when he slights us ,
it is obvious that he is our friend no longer .

If they transgress and slight that sole command .
