apostolical_a authority_n to_o have_v state_v the_o difference_n and_o to_o have_v rebuke_v the_o offend_a party_n but_o he_o rather_o choose_v this_o more_o effectual_a way_n of_o entreaty_n and_o

of_o how_o full_a of_o passion_n and_o fierceness_n and_o cruelty_n do_v appear_v by_o several_a instance_n what_o a_o enmity_n he_o have_v against_o david_n with_o what_o ardour_n and_o impatience_n he_o do_v desire_v his_o ruin_n may_v likewise_o be_v evident_a from_o his_o secret_a undermine_n and_o his_o open_a pursuit_n of_o he_o and_o yet_o this_o harsh_a and_o cruel_a disposition_n of_o

wrought_v upon_o by_o this_o mildness_n as_o to_o break_v out_o into_o tear_n of_o kindness_n and_o pity_n and_o now_o he_o return_v he_o a_o gentle_a answer_n be_v it_o thy_o voice_n my_o son_n david_n v_o 16._o who_o before_o he_o prosecute_v as_o his_o chief_a enemy_n now_o he_o acknowledge_v for_o a_o son_n and_o commit_v to_o he_o as_o if_o he_o be_v his_o dear_a friend_n the_o care_n of_o his_o posterity_n v._o 21._o swear_v now_o therefore_o unto_o i_o that_o thou_o will_v not_o cut_v off_o my_o seed_n after_o i_o nor_o destroy_v my_o name_n out_o of_o my_o father_n house_n 1_o sam._n 25._o there_o be_v another_o pregnant_a example_n to_o this_o purpose_n when_o david_n be_v in_o a_o great_a chafe_n and_o fury_n against_o nabal_n and_o in_o the_o heat_n of_o his_o passion_n have_v take_v a_o oath_n to_o kill_v all_o that_o belong_v to_o he_o v_o 22._o for_o that_o churlish_a and_o taunt_a answer_n return_v by_o his_o messenger_n then_o do_v abigal_n by_o her_o soft_a and_o gentle_a speech_n mollify_v and_o allay_v this_o passion_n she_o fall_v at_o his_o foot_n and_o say_v let_v thy_o handmaid_n i_o pray_v thou_o speak_v in_o thy_o audience_n v_o 24._o she_o acknowledge_v the_o fault_n that_o he_o have_v deserve_v better_a from_o nabal_n beseech_v his_o pardon_n and_o tell_v he_o that_o it_o will_v hereafter_o be_v no_o grief_n or_o offence_n of_o heart_n unto_o my_o lord_n that_o thou_o have_v not_o shed_v blood_n causeless_a or_o avenge_v thyself_o v._o 31._o by_o which_o she_o present_o reduce_v he_o to_o a_o coolness_n and_o temper_n make_v he_o gentle_a as_o a_o lamb_n who_o be_v before_o fierce_a as_o a_o lyon_n when_o our_o saviour_n call_v the_o caananitish_a woman_n dog_n 15._o we_o know_v how_o her_o humble_a and_o gentle_a answer_n prevail_v with_o he_o for_o the_o success_n of_o her_o petition_n and_o it_o may_v be_v pertinent_a to_o this_o purpose_n though_o it_o be_v in_o a_o parable_n what_o we_o read_v matth._n 18.23_o of_o a_o certain_a king_n who_o call_v his_o servant_n to_o a_o account_n and_o find_v that_o one_o of_o they_o owe_v he_o ten_o thousand_o talent_n command_v he_o to_o be_v sell_v with_o his_o wife_n and_o child_n and_o all_o that_o he_o have_v who_o thereupon_o fall_v down_o and_o worship_v he_o say_v lord_n have_v patience_n with_o we_o and_o i_o will_v pay_v thou_o all_o you_o know_v the_o issue_n of_o this_o humble_a demeanour_n it_o be_v say_v his_o lord_n be_v move_v with_o compassion_n towards_o he_o and_o forgive_v he_o his_o debt_n v_o 27._o thus_o much_o shall_v serve_v for_o scripture_n testimony_n and_o example_n to_o this_o purpose_n i_o proceed_v to_o the_o further_a confirmation_n of_o this_o truth_n by_o two_o reason_n 1._o from_o the_o nature_n of_o these_o fierce_a passion_n and_o this_o obduracy_n or_o hardness_n of_o temper_n which_o be_v increase_v by_o opposition_n and_o consequent_o must_v be_v abate_v by_o gentleness_n and_o yield_v the_o collision_n of_o two_o body_n that_o be_v hard_a will_v be_v apt_a to_o strike_v fire_n betwixt_o they_o which_o can_v be_v do_v when_o one_o of_o they_o be_v soft_a wrath_n be_v oftentimes_o compare_v to_o fire_n now_o the_o way_n to_o extinguish_v fire_n be_v not_o by_o blow_v it_o or_o add_v fuel_n to_o it_o but_o rather_o by_o withdraw_v that_o by_o which_o it_o be_v supply_v and_o it_o be_v a_o wise_a say_n of_o the_o son_n of_o sirach_n ecclesiasticus_fw-la 8.3_o he_o that_o strive_v with_o a_o man_n of_o tongue_n heap_n wood_n upon_o his_o fire_n and_o again_o chap._n 28.12_o if_o thou_o blow_v the_o spark_n it_o shall_v burn_v if_o thou_o spit_v upon_o it_o it_o shall_v be_v quench_v and_o both_o these_o come_v out_o of_o the_o mouth_n i._n e._n such_o word_n may_v be_v speak_v as_o may_v either_o inflame_v the_o anger_n of_o other_o or_o extinguish_v it_o and_o of_o what_o kind_n these_o must_v be_v may_v be_v easy_o know_v by_o what_o i_o have_v be_v discourse_v i_o appeal_v to_o every_o man_n experience_n do_v you_o ever_o know_v any_o man_n convince_v or_o convert_v by_o this_o wrathful_a boisterous_a way_n do_v it_o not_o rather_o alienate_v man_n mind_n and_o set_v they_o at_o a_o further_a distance_n true_a indeed_o it_o may_v be_v a_o mean_n to_o fright_v some_o mean_a timorous_a spirit_n to_o a_o seem_a feign_a compliance_n to_o make_v they_o disguise_v their_o
