The higher the person in whom this frenzy reigns, the ¹greater the fault. The Master-Be hath no sting, the rest have: the greater power, the less passion.

When a railing wretch followed a Heathen Prince with obloquies all day, and home to his doors at night, he requited him with commanding his servant to light him home to his house with a torch.

1. The first hath a beginning and motion, but presently ceaseth; we call this Choler. Like fire in stubble, soon kindled, and soon out.

These are stung with a nettle, and allayed with a dock.
