a_o guardian_n of_o a_o secret_a as_o anger_n and_o although_o love_n and_o joy_n also_o be_v alike_o unfaithful_a as_o that_o be_v yet_o they_o commit_v not_o the_o same_o violence_n on_o the_o

suffer_v nothing_o there_o which_o she_o drive_v not_o out_o with_o force_n it_o exhaust_v it_o by_o break_v it_o and_o as_o a_o fire_n kindle_v in_o a_o mine_n it_o tear_v up_o and_o discover_v all_o what_o be_v hide_v therein_o in_o effect_n it_o be_v impossible_a to_o conceive_v the_o impetuosity_n with_o which_o heat_n and_o the_o spirit_n issue_n out_o of_o the_o heart_n and_o the_o violence_n with_o which_o the_o soul_n throw_v herself_o forth_o for_o her_o revenge_n but_o we_o must_v also_o fancy_v we_o see_v a_o effusion_n and_o scatter_v abroad_o of_o all_o her_o thought_n and_o of_o all_o her_o design_n and_o chief_o of_o those_o which_o have_v conformity_n or_o alliance_n with_o anger_n as_o conspiracy_n make_v with_o or_o against_o a_o enemy_n those_o secret_a good_a office_n

be_v one_o of_o the_o complice_n it_o be_v to_o bring_v he_o in_o danger_n when_o he_o publish_v a_o enterprise_n which_o he_o have_v form_v against_o he_o it_o be_v a_o threat_n and_o when_o he_o reproach_v he_o it_o be_v to_o convince_v he_o of_o wrong_n and_o render_v he_o odious_a they_o also_o be_v common_o the_o weak_a which_o fall_v in_o this_o default_n whether_o it_o be_v because_o they_o speak_v more_o and_o that_o it_o be_v hard_a but_o that_o in_o many_o word_n much_o folly_n must_v needs_o be_v or_o whether_o they_o will_v hide_v their_o weakness_n by_o the_o liberty_n they_o take_v to_o speak_v all_o they_o know_v and_o all_o what_o they_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o do_v yet_o there_o be_v some_o anger_n be_v which_o be_v dumb_n dumb_a some_o anger_n be_v be_v dumb_a and_o yet_o forbear_v not_o to_o be_v violent_a although_o they_o make_v no_o noise_n often_o even_o those_o which_o be_v loud_a stop_v on_o the_o sudden_a and_o fall_v into_o a_o silence_n wherein_o

more_o solid_a revenge_n then_o that_o of_o word_n as_o we_o have_v say_v in_o the_o discourse_n of_o boldness_n or_o from_o the_o despite_n we_o have_v of_o see_v ourselves_o offend_v by_o person_n from_o who_o we_o expect_v not_o we_o can_v have_v receive_v a_o injury_n or_o from_o the_o scorn_n wherewith_o we_o pretend_v to_o chastise_v their_o insolency_n or_o from_o that_o strong_a

and_o opinionate_a in_o those_o which_o resist_v they_o because_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o drive_v the_o soul_n whether_o she_o will_v go_v and_o dfficult_a to_o make_v she_o take_v a_o new_a course_n but_o as_o there_o be_v none_o so_o impetuous_a nor_o so_o rapid_a as_o anger_n there_o be_v none_o also_o in_o which_o persuasion_n be_v more_o easy_o receive_v to_o hasten_v its_o course_n or_o wherein_o such_o as_o will_v oppose_v it_o be_v more_o strong_o repute_v indeed_o we_o can_v propose_v nothing_o to_o a_o man_n agitate_a with_o this_o passion_n which_o may_v render_v the_o injury_n

of_o boldness_n for_o which_o cause_n woman_n and_o those_o who_o be_v natural_o weak_a and_o timorous_a be_v more_o insolent_a cruel_a in_o their_o anger_n then_o other_o be_v and_o when_o those_o

indignation_n disdain_n and_o despite_n be_v not_o proper_o effect_n of_o this_o passion_n they_o be_v rather_o kind_n and_o difference_n of_o it_o for_o they_o be_v light_a anger_n be_v which_o

all_o three_o have_v this_o in_o common_a that_o grief_n be_v always_o mix_v with_o they_o and_o that_o they_o stir_v up_o the_o soul_n against_o those_o thing_n which_o give_v they_o any_o

to_o raise_v this_o motion_n in_o the_o soul_n something_o must_v happen_v to_o a_o man_n which_o he_o deserve_v not_o and_o which_o he_o be_v unworthy_a of_o now_o as_o we_o may_v grieve_v for_o
