Answ. Because it is a violent passion: and by man, though regenerate, very hardly kept in compass. Moses, a 1man in a great measure regenerate, yea and very meek above all the men which were upon the face of the earth, yet being on a great cause angry, so exceeded therein, as he little regarded the Tables wherein God with his own hand had written the Moral Law, but othrew them out of his hands, and brake them. So pPaul and Barnabas, men endowed with extraordinary spirits, yet being stirred with anger, grew so hot, as They departed asunder one from the other. The corrupt flesh ever abides even in the best Saints so long as they abide in this corruptible flesh: and though they be regenerate, yet much corruption lieth as dregs at the bottom. Hence is it, that if that person in whom the sweet liquor of the sanctifying Spirit aboundeth, be moved in his passions (as sweet water in a glass having dregs, being shaken) corruption will arise, and taint that passion.
