mind_n 1_o to_o the_o common_a tranquillity_n of_o human_a life_n the_o great_a comfort_n and_o pleasure_n of_o it_o depend_v on_o the_o mutual_a benefit_n man_n have_v from_o society_n with_o one_o

because_o they_o be_v dangerous_a and_o hurtful_a to_o human_a society_n and_o if_o it_o be_v allow_v to_o be_v fit_v and_o necessary_a for_o man_n to_o keep_v their_o passion_n within_o the_o

for_o the_o government_n of_o our_o passion_n since_o those_o be_v the_o occasion_n of_o all_o the_o storm_n and_o tempest_n within_o our_o breast_n for_o the_o government_n of_o reason_n be_v calm_a

particular_o require_v in_o order_n to_o the_o government_n of_o they_o 1_o meekness_n 2_o patience_n 3_o love_v of_o enemy_n and_o i_o hope_v to_o make_v it_o appear_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o unreasonable_a in_o any_o of_o these_o 1_o meekness_n which_o be_v such_o a_o gentleness_n of_o temper_n as_o make_v a_o man_n not_o easy_a to_o be_v provoke_v there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o difference_n between_o meekness_n and_o stupidity_n the_o one_o arise_v from_o a_o natural_a dullness_n and_o insensibility_n the_o other_o from_o a_o fix_a calm_a and_o compose_a temper_n of_o mind_n and_o be_v found_v on_o two_o which_o be_v both_o wise_a thing_n especial_o when_o they_o go_v together_o and_o those_o be_v consideration_n and_o resolution_n for_o nothing_o tend_v to_o the_o abate_v the_o heat_n and_o violence_n of_o passion_n so_o much_o as_o consideration_n do_v and_o resolution_n make_v it_o effectual_a if_o it_o be_v nothing_o but_o the_o time_n it_o give_v that_o be_v of_o great_a force_n for_o let_v out_o the_o inward_a fermentation_n which_o will_v spend_v itself_o in_o great_a measure_n if_o vent_v be_v give_v to_o it_o whereas_o if_o it_o be_v keep_v in_o and_o suffer_v to_o work_v upon_o itself_o it_o turn_v from_o a_o hasty_a passion_n to_o malice_n and_o revenge_n but_o consideration_n be_v of_o great_a use_n as_o it_o suggest_v argument_n from_o reason_n to_o quell_v and_o allay_v the_o sudden_a heat_n of_o passion_n as_o that_o it_o expose_v the_o weakness_n of_o our_o mind_n in_o not_o be_v able_a to_o keep_v under_o that_o which_o they_o ought_v to_o govern_v and_o have_v power_n to_o command_v that_o it_o be_v a_o great_a folly_n to_o disorder_v ourselves_o at_o the_o pleasure_n of_o our_o enemy_n or_o at_o such_o accident_n which_o we_o can_v neither_o prevent_v nor_o remove_v that_o the_o wise_a thing_n we_o can_v do_v be_v not_o to_o betray_v our_o folly_n to_o other_o if_o we_o can_v whole_o suppress_v it_o in_o ourselves_o that_o we_o weaken_v the_o reins_o of_o the_o government_n of_o ourselves_o by_o not_o hold_v they_o with_o a_o strict_a hand_n and_o make_v our_o passion_n more_o seditious_a and_o turbulent_a by_o let_v they_o alone_o that_o the_o more_o we_o try_v to_o command_v ourselves_o the_o easy_a we_o shall_v do_v it_o that_o our_o most_o rebellious_a passion_n will_v submit_v if_o they_o find_v we_o be_v in_o earnest_n that_o it_o be_v the_o way_n to_o make_v that_o a_o real_a injury_n by_o be_v disturb_v which_o will_v lose_v be_v force_n by_o be_v neglect_v that_o while_o we_o be_v true_a to_o ourselves_o we_o be_v out_o of_o the_o reach_n of_o our_o enemy_n and_o then_o we_o be_v most_o under_o their_o power_n when_o we_o be_v least_o under_o our_o own_o that_o the_o great_a work_n of_o religion_n lie_v within_o we_o and_o that_o we_o be_v in_o a_o very_a ill_a condition_n if_o neither_o reason_n nor_o religion_n can_v keep_v we_o in_o order_n by_o such_o consideration_n as_o these_o man_n be_v bring_v to_o a_o more_o calm_a and_o compose_a temper_n which_o be_v that_o meekness_n which_o our_o saviour_n require_v and_o to_o this_o he_o seem_v to_o appropriate_v the_o happiness_n of_o this_o life_n bless_a be_v the_o meek_a for_o they_o shall_v inherit_v the_o earth_n 5._o what_o do_v our_o bless_a saviour_n mean_v by_o inherit_v the_o earth_n be_v there_o any_o thing_n like_o

here_o the_o meek_n may_v put_v in_o for_o the_o large_a share_n of_o it_o for_o they_o have_v more_o friend_n and_o few_o enemy_n than_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o world_n they_o enjoy_v themselves_o with_o more_o quietness_n and_o satisfaction_n and_o be_v less_o disturb_v at_o the_o noise_n and_o tumultuous_a passion_n of_o the_o rest_n of_o mankind_n o_o happy_a temper_n to_o be_v calm_a and_o
