the_o furious_a flame_n of_o anger_n be_v kindle_v in_o our_o heart_n covetousness_n also_o be_v a_o most_o violent_a and_o strong_a vice_n which_o nothing_o almost_o can_v vanquish_v but_o death_n

plunge_v their_o soul_n headlong_o into_o hell_n that_o they_o may_v get_v momentary_a riches_n and_o by_o they_o also_o who_o despise_v the_o mean_n of_o their_o salvation_n in_o compaparison_n of_o a_o small_a worldly_a trifle_n and_o yet_o anger_v be_v once_o admit_v do_v overcome_v covetousness_n as_o it_o be_v evident_a in_o the_o example_n of_o they_o who_o to_o satisfy_v their_o furious_a

of_o unjust_a anger_n stir_v up_o in_o we_o by_o unjust_a cause_n whereby_o we_o have_v no_o respect_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n nor_o the_o good_a of_o ourselves_o or_o our_o brethren_n be_v after_o a_o injust_a and_o immoderate_a manner_n angry_a with_o they_o with_o who_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v angry_a that_o unjust_a anger_n be_v a_o desire_n of_o revenge_n it_o be_v so_o

by_o a_o injury_n offer_v in_o truth_n or_o in_o his_o opinion_n desire_v revenge_n according_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o injury_n receive_v or_o the_o opinion_n which_o he_o have_v conceyve_v of_o it_o if_o he_o be_v injure_v by_o a_o scornful_a look_n he_o seek_v to_o revenge_v it_o with_o a_o disdainful_a countenance_n if_o by_o word_n he_o revenge_v by_o word_n if_o in_o deed_n he_o desire_v to_o revenge_v by_o deed_n yea_o oftentimes_o the_o fury_n of_o anger_n cast_v a_o mist_n before_o the_o sight_n of_o reason_n cause_v small_a injury_n seem_v great_a &_o according_a to_o

unreasonable_a it_o appear_v by_o that_o which_o follow_v in_o the_o definition_n and_o first_o because_o the_o cause_n thereof_o be_v unjust_a the_o cause_n of_o unjust_a anger_n be_v either_o self-love_n the_o cause_n of_o unjust_a anger_n 1._o internal_a 1._o self-love_n internal_a or_o external_a the_o internal_a cause_n be_v diverse_a as_o first_o self_n love_n whereby_o we_o so_o immoderate_o love_v ourselves_o that_o we_o never_o think_v of_o the_o injury_n and_o indignity_n which_o we_o offer_v other_o or_o else_o suppose_v they_o to_o be_v none_o or_o else_o light_o esteem_v of_o they_o as_o not_o worthy_a the_o recital_n but_o on_o the_o other_o side_n it_o make_v man_n heinous_o aggravate_v injury_n offer_v unto_o themselves_o and_o so_o to_o make_v huge_a mountain_n of_o small_a molehill_n it_o cause_v the_o hart_n easy_o to_o apprehend_v the_o wrong_n busy_a in_o meditate_v of_o it_o be_v apprehend_v eager_a in_o seek_v revenge_n after_o meditation_n and_o the_o hand_n no_o less_o forward_o in_o act_v those_o tragedy_n which_o the_o hart_n have_v invent_v for_o by_o self_n love_v man_n be_v induce_v to_o think_v themselves_o worthy_a of_o all_o love_n and_o honour_n and_o therefore_o if_o a_o small_a injury_n be_v offer_v unto_o they_o they_o suppose_v that_o death_n be_v too_o small_a a_o revenge_n for_o so_o great_a a_o indignity_n offer_v to_o such_o worthy_a personage_n yea_o if_o they_o be_v not_o so_o much_o respect_v as_o their_o haughty_a ambition_n desire_v or_o if_o other_o be_v prefer_v before_o they_o and_o that_o deserve_o this_o be_v matter_n enough_o to_o provoke_v they_o to_o furious_a rage_n not_o only_o against_o they_o of_o who_o they_o be_v not_o regard_v but_o they_o also_o who_o be_v prefer_v in_o other_o judgement_n and_o this_o be_v evident_a in_o the_o example_n of_o cain_n who_o because_o god_n respect_v the_o offering_n of_o abel_n more_o than_o he_o be_v incense_v to_o wrath_n and_o have_v his_o anger_n so_o inflame_v that_o nothing_o can_v quench_v it_o 4._o gen_n 4._o but_o the_o blood_n of_o his_o dear_a brother_n and_o in_o saul_n who_o can_v with_o no_o patience_n endure_v that_o the_o praise_n of_o david_n shall_v surmount_v he_o in_o the_o sight_n and_o audience_n 8._o 1._o sam._n 18._o 8._o of_o the_o people_n but_o be_v enrage_v with_o deadly_a anger_n against_o he_o who_o for_o his_o merit_n deserve_v to_o be_v advance_v and_o thus_o do_v self_n love_n make_v a_o man_n wink_n at_o those_o injury_n which_o he_o offer_v other_o and_o to_o put_v on_o the_o spectacy_n of_o affection_n when_o he_o look_v on_o those_o wrong_n which_o be_v offer_v to_o himself_o whereby_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o every_o small_a injury_n seem_v great_a and_o provoke_v to_o great_a anger_n whereas_o if_o we_o think_v meanelie_o of_o ourselves_o and_o love_v our_o neighbour_n as_o ourselves_o we_o will_v not_o suffer_v our_o judgement_n to_o be_v so_o over_o balance_v with_o the_o weight_n of_o affection_n in_o judge_v of_o the_o injury_n nor_o give_v the_o reins_n to_o our_o anger_n in_o pursue_v it_o with_o revenge_n s_n 5._o the_o second_o internal_a cause_n of_o

which_o make_v we_o have_v a_o high_a opinion_n of_o ourselves_o this_o high_a opinion_n cause_v arrogancy_n and_o pride_n and_o pride_n cause_v man_n to_o be_v more_o sharp_a sight_v in_o discryeng_v
