of_o the_o world_n such_o and_o be_v there_o any_o better_a to_o be_v expect_v shall_v our_o fury_n reduce_v thing_n to_o a_o better_a state_n when_o we_o have_v rage_v and_o torment_v ourselves_o never_o so_o much_o our_o anger_n may_v indeed_o help_v to_o make_v thing_n worse_o but_o be_v the_o most_o unlikely_a mean_n to_o put_v they_o into_o a_o better_a posture_n consider_v again_o that_o if_o there_o be_v no_o thwart_n and_o provocation_n there_o will_v be_v no_o need_n of_o such_o a_o virtue_n as_o meekness_n nor_o will_v there_o be_v any_o such_o virtue_n at_o all_o for_o if_o nothing_o cross_v we_o but_o all_o thing_n go_v according_a to_o our_o mind_n there_o will_v be_v no_o occasion_n nor_o trial_n of_o meekness_n for_o it_o will_v be_v impossible_a that_o we_o shall_v be_v otherwise_o than_o please_v but_o because_o thing_n will_v fall_v out_o opposite_o to_o our_o desire_n and_o expectation_n therefore_o meekness_n be_v enjoin_v as_o a_o mean_n to_o relieve_v we_o we_o may_v do_v well_o to_o consider_v withal_o that_o if_o thing_n happen_v so_o ill_o as_o to_o disquiet_v we_o whether_o it_o be_v not_o wisdom_n to_o make_v the_o best_a that_o we_o can_v of_o they_o and_o so_o whether_o it_o be_v not_o our_o wisdom_n instead_o of_o struggle_v with_o a_o provocation_n to_o suppress_v and_o stifle_v our_o resentment_n of_o it_o and_o see_v anger_n be_v most_o frequent_o stir_v up_o by_o the_o provocation_n that_o be_v give_v by_o man_n and_o see_v we_o be_v not_o angry_a with_o man_n but_o when_o we_o judge_v that_o they_o deal_v undue_o with_o we_o as_o it_o become_v we_o to_o see_v that_o this_o judgement_n be_v true_a and_o that_o we_o do_v not_o unjust_o apprehend_v a_o wrong_n when_o there_o be_v none_o do_v to_o we_o so_o upon_o condition_n
