Cure.
TO cure this Bedlam passion, (leaving the other to deeper judgements in that profession) both nature and Grace have given rules. Natural reason; that an angry man should not undertake any action or speech, till he had recited the Greek Alphabet; as a pause to cool the heat of choler. That angry men should sing to their passions, as Nurses to their Babes [Greek or Hebrew] haste not, cry not. Maximum remedium est irae, mora. The best remedy for Anger is delay. What a man doth in anger, 1he lightly repents in cold blood.
