with_o his_o brother_n the_o second_o in_o gesture_n or_o sign_n he_o that_o say_v to_o his_o brother_n racha_n which_o word_n signify_v anger_n and_o in_o the_o speech_n of_o our_o saviour_n do_v forbid_v all_o signification_n of_o our_o anger_n to_o our_o brethren_n either_o in_o look_n or_o countenance_n or_o by_o any_o other_o sign_n or_o gesture_n the_o three_o sort_n of_o unlawful_a

whole_a text_n run_v thus_o whosoever_o be_v angry_a with_o his_o brother_n without_o a_o cause_n shall_v be_v in_o danger_n of_o the_o counsel_n but_o whosoever_o shall_v say_v thou_o fool_n shall_v be_v in_o danger_n of_o hell_n fire_n then_o beware_v of_o offend_v in_o the_o first_o kind_n be_v angry_a in_o thy_o secret_a thought_n against_o thy_o brethren_n take_v heed_n more_o especial_o it_o be_v not_o manifest_v by_o some_o outward_a sign_n take_v heed_n most_o of_o all_o these_o it_o break_v not_o out_o into_o intemperate_a language_n if_o thou_o fear_v not_o the_o judgement_n fear_v a_o assembly_n or_o counsel_n if_o you_o fear_v not_o the_o counsel_n stand_v in_o awe_n and_o tremble_v at_o hell_n fire_n but_o here_o now_o a_o very_a necessary_a question_n do_v arise_v if_o

which_o be_v daily_o offer_v to_o our_o person_n how_o be_v we_o to_o behave_v ourselves_o a_o question_n true_o well_o worthy_a to_o be_v discuss_v and_o the_o same_o very_a apt_a and_o pertinent_a to_o the_o treatise_n of_o anger_n wherefore_o i_o answer_v that_o we_o ought_v at_o all_o time_n abstain_v from_o anger_n even_o to_o our_o very_a thought_n save_v in_o the_o manner_n as_o be_v before_o speak_v to_o be_v angry_a with_o the_o sin_n not_o with_o the_o person_n howbeit_o we_o be_v not_o debar_v the_o use_n of_o lawful_a course_n in_o the_o remedy_n of_o wrong_n and_o prevent_v further_o damage_n when_o we_o be_v just_o thereunto_o provoke_v and_o can_v otherwise_o maintain_v peace_n but_o will_v thou_o know_v wherein_o tread_v not_o the_o path_n of_o revenge_n and_o go_v not_o in_o the_o way_n which_o thy_o intemperate_a anger_n will_v lead_v thou_o but_o follow_v the_o counsel_n of_o thy_o bless_a saviour_n who_o word_n in_o this_o cause_n be_v so_o plain_a i_o wonder_v any_o man_n shall_v mistake_v who_o advice_n be_v so_o wholesome_a i_o wonder_v all_o man_n do_v not_o more_o regard_v it_o matth._n 18.15_o these_o be_v his_o word_n if_o thy_o brother_n shall_v trespass_v against_o thou_o go_v and_o tell_v he_o of_o his_o fault_n between_o thou_o and_o he_o alone_o if_o he_o shall_v hear_v thou_o thou_o have_v gain_v thy_o brother_n but_o if_o he_o will_v not_o hear_v thou_o then_o take_v with_o thou_o one_o or_o two_o more_o that_o in_o the_o mouth_n of_o two_o or_o three_o witness_n every_o word_n may_v be_v establish_v and_o if_o he_o shall_v neglect_v they_o tell_v it_o unto_o the_o church_n but_o if_o he_o neglect_v the_o church_n let_v he_o be_v unto_o thou_o as_o a_o heathen_a man_n or_o publican_n where_o you_o see_v all_o mean_n by_o
