and_o have_v no_o long_o a_o bridle_n to_o restrain_v they_o be_v hurry_v away_o with_o the_o rapidity_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o the_o passion_n which_o drive_v they_o and_o so_o perform_v all_o their_o action_n with_o disorder_n and_o temerity_n but_o what_o contribute_v much_o to_o this_o precipitation_n it_o be_v grief_n which_o be_v the_o first_o cause_n of_o anger_n and_o weakness_n which_o common_o accompany_v it_o for_o both_o of_o they_o be_v natural_o impatient_a and_o constrain_v and_o eager_o solicit_v the_o soul_n to_o provide_v for_o her_o security_n that_o by_o reason_n that_o the_o ill_a be_v present_a this_o because_o it_o want_v force_n to_o resist_v it_o and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o time_n to_o be_v lose_v in_o so_o dangerous_a and_o urgent_a a_o occasion_n and_o from_o thence_o it_o come_v that_o anger_n be_v most_o impetuous_a in_o the_o weak_a nature_n and_o that_o fury_n kindle_v not_o itself_o so_o sudden_o in_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o

endeavour_n for_o her_o defence_n its_o true_a that_o although_o robu_v nature_n be_v not_o so_o soon_o transport_v as_o the_o rest_n as_o well_o for_o the_o reason_n already_o allege_v as_o for_o that_o they_o be_v of_o a_o strong_a and_o more_o solid_a complexion_n wherein_o heat_n be_v not_o so_o easy_o catch_v yet_o when_o once_o fury_n have_v seize_v on_o they_o beside_o that_o it_o be_v more_o vehement_a and_o more_o dangerous_a it_o be_v also_o of_o a_o long_a continuance_n because_o the_o heat_n be_v strong_a and_o be_v long_o preserve_v in_o gross_a and_o massive_a subject_n then_o in_o such_o as_o be_v subtle_a and_o movable_a such_o as_o be_v woman_n and_o child_n and_o all_o those_o who_o be_v of_o such_o like_a a_o temperature_n pride_n be_v so_o proper_a to_o anger_v that_o there_o be_v no_o passion_n it_o more_o often_o accompany_v proud_a anger_n be_v proud_a nor_o with_o which_o it_o be_v so_o familiar_a and_o certain_o it_o be_v a_o strange_a thing_n that_o

lose_v all_o the_o respect_n it_o ought_v to_o other_o and_o persuade_v it_o neither_o to_o yield_v nor_o submit_v to_o whatsoever_o it_o be_v we_o need_v not_o go_v far_o for_o a_o example_n since_o at_o every_o moment_n we_o may_v see_v that_o from_o its_o counsel_n servant_n dare_v confront_v their_o master_n child_n their_o parent_n subject_n their_o lord_n and_o what_o be_v most_o frightful_a such_o vile_a creature_n as_o man_n be_v spare_v not_o the_o most_o holy_a thing_n but_o often_o wrack_v it_o on_o god_n himself_o and_o although_o this_o discord_n appear_v not_o so_o great_a in_o person_n of_o a_o high_a condition_n when_o they_o grow_v angry_a with_o their_o inferior_n yet_o they_o can_v forbear_v be_v guilty_a of_o a_o very_a and_o unjust_a and_o odious_a pride_n when_o they_o will_v hear_v neither_o reason_n nor_o defence_n when_o silence_n or_o excuse_n provoke_v they_o the_o more_o and_o when_o a_o discover_v innocency_n be_v to_o they_o but_o as_o a_o new_a injury_n for_o all_o this_o proceed_v from_o the_o haughty_a and_o proud_a nature_n of_o this_o passion_n which_o will_v always_o be_v in_o the_o right_n and_o have_v reason_n on_o its_o side_n which_o will_v never_o yield_v to_o any_o body_n and_o will_v never_o acknowledge_v he_o for_o innocent_a from_o who_o it_o believe_v it_o have_v receive_v a_o offence_n without_o ever_o accuse_v

certain_o we_o must_v not_o seek_v the_o source_n elsewhere_o then_o in_o the_o motion_n of_o heat_n which_o trouble_v the_o judgement_n and_o drive_v the_o soul_n out_o of_o her_o ordinary_a limit_n as_o be_v before_o say_v for_o pride_n be_v nothing_o but_o a_o swell_a and_o as_o it_o be_v a_o immoderate_a extension_n of_o the_o soul_n whereby_o she_o raise_v herself_o up_o more_o than_o she_o

tongue_n and_o in_o its_o word_n and_o true_o we_o may_v say_v that_o it_o be_v in_o some_o manner_n like_o liquor_n which_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o fire_n cause_v to_o rise_v up_o in_o great_a

without_o speak_v one_o word_n will_v go_v to_o fight_v who_o have_v be_v offend_v can_v forbear_v to_o cry_v out_o and_o threaten_v because_o grief_n at_o that_o time_n mix_v itself_o with_o

the_o impetuosity_n and_o the_o boiling_n wherewith_o the_o blood_n and_o spirit_n be_v agit_v but_o we_o must_v present_o judge_v that_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n which_o make_v the_o vein_n and_o

the_o soul_n use_v to_o give_v a_o repulse_n to_o those_o difficulty_n which_o traverse_v her_o design_n and_o that_o the_o trouble_n and_o blindness_n she_o be_v in_o cause_v she_o to_o take_v all_o

we_o give_v for_o all_o those_o shake_n of_o the_o head_n which_o be_v remarkable_a in_o this_o passion_n head_n whence_o the_o shake_n of_o the_o head_n what_o can_v oblige_v the_o soul_n to_o move_v it_o one_o while_n to_o the_o right_n and_o then_o to_o the_o left_a sometime_o up_o and_o sometime_o down_o and_o sometime_o on_o one_o side_n only_o and_o to_o what_o end_n do_v she_o cause_v these_o so_o extravagant_a motion_n and_o so_o different_a the_o one_o from_o another_o for_o to_o conclude_v that_o they_o be_v sign_n and_o natural_a effect_n which_o anger_n produce_v in_o all_o man_n of_o what_o nation_n or_o of_o what_o constitution_n soever_o they_o be_v so_o that_o if_o nature_n do_v nothing_o in_o vain_a she_o must_v herein_o have_v her_o cause_n and_o reason_n as_o well_o as_o in_o her_o great_a and_o most_o considerable_a action_n it_o be_v true_a in_o my_o judgement_n they_o be_v very_o hard_a to_o be_v know_v and_o it_o be_v with_o they_o as_o with_o most_o part_n of_o thing_n which_o hide_v themselves_o so_o much_o the_o more_o unto_o the_o mind_n the_o more_o they_o discover_v themselves_o unto_o the_o sense_n and_o which_o be_v as_o difficult_a to_o

alteration_n of_o the_o body_n or_o the_o agitation_n of_o the_o humour_n must_v cause_v these_o motion_n by_o a_o necessary_a consequence_n as_o it_o happen_v in_o the_o redness_n of_o the_o face_n in_o the_o wrinkle_n of_o the_o forehead_n in_o the_o splendour_n of_o the_o eye_n and_o the_o like_a which_o be_v form_v by_o necessity_n without_o be_v destine_v for_o any_o use_n and_o if_o we_o will_v place_v they_o in_o the_o rank_n of_o action_n which_o be_v perform_v for_o some_o end_n it_o be_v nothing_o easy_a to_o observe_v what_o motive_n the_o soul_n therein_o propose_v itself_o no_o what_o service_n she_o pretend_v to_o draw_v from_o thence_o to_o give_v further_a light_n to_o these_o obscurity_n you_o must_v first_o know_v whether_o these_o motion_n be_v not_o in_o other_o passion_n and_o afterward_o seek_v those_o motive_n for_o the_o which_o they_o be_v therein_o form_v and_o last_o to_o see_v whether_o they_o may_v be_v apply_v to_o anger_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o use_v to_o shake_v the_o head_n and_o to_o give_v it_o ready_o two_o or_o three_o turn_n about_o when_o any_o thing_n displease_v head_n why_o we_o toss_v the_o head_n as_o especial_o when_o we_o refuse_v or_o disapprove_v of_o any_o thing_n when_o we_o be_v sensible_a of_o a_o ungrateful_a smell_n or_o when_o we_o taste_v aught_o that_o be_v disgustful_a for_o which_o cause_n the_o vulgar_a common_o call_v wine_n when_o it_o be_v not_o good_a wine_n with_o two_o ear_n because_o it_o make_v those_o two_o part_n move_v when_o we_o turn_v the_o head_n from_o one_o side_n to_o the_o other_o and_o that_o by_o that_o motion_n we_o will_v signify_v that_o we_o find_v it_o to_o be_v naught_o but_o what_o relation_n can_v this_o action_n have_v with_o these_o sentiment_n be_v it_o not_o that_o the_o soul_n will_v turn_v away_o the_o face_n where_o the_o organ_n of_o the_o sense_n be_v from_o those_o object_n which_o be_v displease_v to_o it_o as_o she_o use_v to_o fix_v they_o on_o
