Anger attributed to God setteth out his dislike of evil and his resolution to punish evil doers. God can not mistake: the evil at which he is at any time angry is indeed evil. When any way God manifesteth his dislike and his resolution to punish, he is said to be angry. Thus cthe wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness: that is, God who is in heaven manifesteth from thence his dislike of ungodliness, and his purpose to take vengeance thereof. And because that dislike and purpose to punish useth to be manifested sometimes by threatening so to do, and sometimes by putting his purpose into execution, and performing it, such his threatening and executing of judgement is called the anger or wrath of God.
