therefore_o we_o see_v that_o nature_n have_v not_o only_o give_v this_o potent_a affection_n to_o this_o necessary_a end_n but_o have_v likewise_o furnish_v every_o creature_n with_o outward_a arm_n for_o his_o better_a defence_n as_o with_o horn_n tusk_n tooth_n beak_n talon_n heel_n prickle_n poison_n and_o a_o thousand_o the_o like_a force_n both_o to_o offend_v their_o assailant_n and_o to_o

whereby_o anger_n be_v kindle_v in_o the_o breast_n of_o any_o creature_n he_o become_v hardy_a and_o bold_a to_o defend_v and_o offend_v to_o enter_v combat_n with_o his_o adversary_n to_o beat_v down_o his_o force_n to_o wound_v to_o tear_v to_o kill_v whatsoever_o shall_v make_v resistance_n or_o seek_v to_o offend_v he_o why_o be_v anger_n in_o the_o breast_n of_o man_n easy_o turn_v into_o a_o sin_n problem_n 117._o perhaps_o because_o such_o be_v the_o property_n of_o humane_a affection_n that_o they_o be_v always_o engender_v with_o some_o alteration_n of_o the_o body_n as_o it_o plain_o appear_v in_o sorrow_n which_o afflict_v the_o sense_n in_o fear_n which_o make_v pale_a the_o countenance_n in_o bashfulness_n which_o adorn_v the_o face_n with_o a_o chaste_a and_o crimson_a hue_n in_o delight_n which_o disperse_v the_o spirit_n through_o all_o the_o member_n and_o in_o every_o other_o affection_n more_o or_o less_o sensible_o from_o whence_o it_o follow_v that_o those_o affection_n that_o do_v most_o change_n and_o alter_v the_o body_n do_v likewise_o most_o distemper_n the_o mind_n which_o in_o many_o operation_n do_v communicate_v with_o it_o and_o therefore_o anger_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o great_a store_n of_o blood_n which_o gather_v if_o self_n to_o the_o fountain_n of_o life_n engender_v a_o strange_a kind_n of_o commotion_n throughout_o the_o whole_a body_n and_o consequent_o a_o great_a perturbation_n and_o distemperature_n in_o the_o mind_n or_o reasonable_a part_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v no_o marvel_n if_o a_o man_n that_o be_v angry_a be_v unfit_a for_o counsel_n which_o require_v a_o special_a and_o principal_a use_n of_o reason_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v wise_o say_v that_o anger_n be_v blind_a because_o it_o make_v man_n blind_a in_o their_o judgement_n and_o common_a discourse_n whereby_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o anger_n do_v seldom_o time_n contain_v itself_o within_o the_o bound_n of_o virtue_n because_o fury_n and_o blind_a desire_n of_o revenge_n cause_v defence_n to_o pass_v into_o offence_n and_o offence_n to_o injury_n and_o injury_n to_o injustice_n and_o injustice_n to_o vice_n or_o perhaps_o because_o the_o arm_n of_o anger_n be_v too_o heavy_a and_o with_o too_o great_a a_o violence_n press_v down_o his_o patient_n and_o of_o a_o help_n be_v make_v a_o hindrance_n and_o by_o exceed_v his_o just_a

bridle_n to_o this_o rash_a and_o inconsiderate_a affection_n which_o with_o such_o celerity_n deprive_v we_o of_o all_o wisdom_n and_o counsel_n and_o use_v of_o reason_n which_o take_v away_o all_o light_n of_o understanding_n rob_v the_o will_n of_o that_o wise_a choice_n which_o deserve_v commendation_n and_o bring_v great_a danger_n to_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n than_o all_o the_o other_o affection_n why_o be_v the_o anger_n of_o prince_n and_o great_a governor_n commendable_a problem_n 118._o perhaps_o because_o by_o office_n and_o right_n it_o appertain_v unto_o they_o to_o chastise_v and_o punish_v the_o wrong_n and_o misdemeanour_n of_o those_o their_o subject_n which_o by_o violate_v the_o law_n take_v from_o a_o peaceable_a estate_n all_o felicity_n &_o therefore_o that_o anger_n be_v much_o commend_v in_o their_o breast_n which_o according_a to_o the_o law_n give_v condign_a punishment_n to_o the_o wicked_a &_o therefore_o they_o carry_v the_o sceptre_n in_o their_o hand_n as_o always_o seem_v to_o threaten_v wicked_a man_n or_o perhaps_o because_o the_o anger_n of_o prince_n which_o have_v his_o beginning_n from_o zeal_n and_o public_a benefit_n be_v not_o direct_v by_o those_o fury_n of_o particular_a person_n who_o be_v move_v to_o anger_n for_o their_o private_a benefit_n but_o have_v always_o before_o their_o eye_n the_o true_a end_n which_o
