Anger.
1 This is a good trial, whether our anger be spiritual or carnal; if our anger hinders1 not some other holy action, but stirs us up to good works; if it hinder us not to pray with liberty of mind; if it interrupt not our meditations; if we do not omit the doing of any duty to the party offending us; if we can deal with others without peevishness, then our anger is spiritual, and will comfort our consciences.
