more_o constant_a and_o resolute_a in_o walk_v the_o path_n of_o truth_n which_o he_o have_v descry_v with_o the_o eye_n of_o a_o clear_a judgement_n than_o any_o way_n dazzle_v or_o offend_v the_o sight_n whereby_o he_o shall_v be_v cause_v to_o stumble_v in_o the_o way_n or_o else_o turn_v aside_o into_o by_o path_n of_o error_n second_o though_o it_o shall_v be_v grant_v that_o for_o the_o instant_a reason_n be_v somewhat_o disturb_v with_o the_o passion_n it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o it_o be_v evil_a or_o unprofitable_a for_o before_o the_o affection_n be_v inflame_v the_o reason_n apprehend_v and_o judge_v of_o the_o injury_n and_o so_o as_o it_o be_v first_o kindle_v the_o flame_n which_o be_v kindle_v do_v for_o the_o instant_n perturb_v the_o mind_n but_o the_o

and_o therefore_o moderate_a and_o sanctify_a anger_n be_v so_o far_o from_o hurt_v and_o hinder_v the_o judgement_n of_o reason_n that_o it_o rather_o seruiceable_o aid_v and_o support_v it_o by_o incite_v and_o encourage_v it_o courageous_o to_o execute_v that_o which_o reason_n have_v just_o decree_v and_o resolve_v as_o therefore_o the_o most_o precious_a eye-salue_n do_v present_o after_o it_o be_v put_v into_o the_o eye_n dim_a and_o dazzle_v the_o sight_n but_o afterward_o cause_v it_o to_o see_v much_o more_o clear_o so_o this_o affection_n of_o moderate_a and_o holy_a anger_n do_v at_o the_o first_o somewhat_o perturb_v reason_n but_o afterward_o it_o make_v it_o much_o more_o active_a in_o execute_v and_o perform_v all_o good_a design_n and_o so_o much_o for_o the_o

first_o for_o the_o affection_n as_o it_o be_v create_v by_o god_n howsoever_o it_o be_v just_a and_o holy_a in_o itself_o yet_o now_o the_o beauty_n and_o excellency_n thereof_o be_v deface_v with_o

in_o the_o first_o word_n be_v angry_a the_o second_o a_o prohibition_n or_o dehortation_n from_o unjust_a and_o corrupt_a anger_n in_o the_o next_o word_n but_o sin_n not_o and_o because_o by_o

not_o in_o your_o sin_n let_v not_o the_o sun_n go_v down_o on_o your_o wrath_n the_o most_o of_o our_o new_a interpreter_n think_v that_o the_o first_o word_n be_v rather_o a_o permission_n then_o a_o precept_n command_v that_o just_a anger_n be_v here_o command_v and_o therefore_o to_o be_v understand_v thus_o if_o you_o be_v angry_a sin_v not_o or_o thus_o be_v you_o angry_a sin_n not_o that_o be_v though_o through_o infirmity_n you_o fall_v into_o anger_n yet_o add_v not_o sin_n unto_o sin_n by_o continue_v in_o it_o but_o i_o see_v no_o reason_n why_o the_o word_n shall_v be_v
