so_o as_o in_o truth_n there_o must_v be_v some_o kind_n of_o reason_n to_o provoke_v choler_n for_o that_o man_n which_o be_v stupid_a &_o dull_a be_v not_o capable_a of_o these_o motion_n but_o when_o this_o passion_n be_v full_o inflame_v than_o she_o do_v whole_o darken_v reason_n and_o as_o the_o same_o philosopher_n say_v that_o they_o which_o be_v full_a of_o wine_n and_o drink_n be_v not_o move_v with_o any_o thing_n for_o that_o their_o reason_n be_v drown_v in_o wine_n they_o be_v not_o capable_a to_o balance_v a_o injury_n or_o to_o observe_v a_o contempt_n but_o such_o as_o

the_o mastery_n even_o so_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o choler_n reason_n may_v give_v some_o light_n to_o the_o irascible_a power_n but_o when_o she_o have_v get_v the_o absolute_a command_n and_o be_v

which_o be_v take_v from_o the_o law_n of_o god_n who_o teach_v we_o nothing_o but_o patience_n charity_n mildness_n humanity_n and_o sufferance_n but_o we_o will_v rest_v satisfy_v to_o set_v down_o the_o instruction_n of_o philosophy_n which_o may_v serve_v to_o this_o effect_n first_o of_o all_o philosopher_n advise_v we_o to_o entreat_v this_o passion_n as_o they_o do_v monster_n and_o

a_o fire_n of_o straw_n in_o the_o beginning_n but_o if_o we_o suffer_v it_o to_o take_v hold_n of_o more_o solid_a matter_n it_o pass_v all_o our_o labour_n and_o industry_n and_o make_v a_o pitiful_a ruin_n even_o so_o he_o that_o will_v observe_v choler_n from_o the_o beginning_n see_v it_o begin_v to_o fume_v and_o kindle_v for_o some_o light_a quarrel_n and_o small_a offence_n it_o be_v easy_a for_o he_o to_o suppress_v it_o and_o to_o stay_v her_o course_n but_o if_o she_o be_v once_o settle_v and_o begin_v to_o swell_v and_o that_o he_o himself_o blow_v the_o bellows_n that_o be_v to_o say_v if_o he_o stir_v it_o uppe_o and_o inflame_v it_o it_o will_v be_v hard_a for_o he_o afterward_o to_o quench_v it_o whereas_o he_o may_v easy_o have_v do_v it_o before_o by_o silence_n wherefore_o as_o pilot_n foresee_v a_o tempest_n do_v usual_o retire_v themselves_o into_o a_o road_n or_o under_o the_o lee_n of_o some_o rock_n before_o the_o storm_n come_v so_o he_o that_o feel_v the_o first_o motion_n of_o choler_n shall_v have_v recourse_n to_o reason_n and_o oppose_v it_o to_o the_o passion_n to_o control_v her_o violence_n for_o the_o first_o mean_n to_o vanquish_v

the_o midst_n of_o their_o affliction_n the_o tear_n they_o pour_v forth_o carry_v with_o they_o a_o part_n of_o their_o grief_n but_o choler_n have_v nothing_o of_o all_o this_o she_o grow_v bitter_a and_o be_v incense_v by_o the_o liberty_n we_o give_v she_o and_o be_v inflame_v the_o more_o in_o that_o we_o give_v way_n to_o her_o fury_n and_o as_o they_o that_o be_v subject_a unto_o the_o
