Eirenopolis

Now the first shelf that wracks Innocence, is Anger. It were rare if the wrath of man should fulfil the righteousness of God: ¹even a curst anger breaks the Peace. It is an evidence whereby God will judge men ⟨p. 38⟩guilty: now there is no malefactor going to the bar for his try all, would willingly have that evidence found about him, that should cast him. Iratus non videt legem, sed Lex videt iratum. The wrathful man takes no notice of the Law, but the Law takes notice of the wrathful man. Let us take heed lest we carry our anger with us unto God. That which offends our eyes, we remove either our sight from it, or it from our sight▪ but that which offends ⟨p. 39⟩our souls, we too often lay next our heart. But, it is the voice of transportive fury, I cannot moderate my anger. Cannot? Wherefore serveth grace, but to mortify such natural, yea rather unnatural passions?
