Fourthly, seeing unadvised anger, with the sign thereof, is a breach1 of this law deserving death; hereby we are admonished to beware of this headstrong affection of anger, and betime to restrain and bridle the same: it hath a bad beginning, and an evil end, and thereby we become murderers. Now that we may overrule it, so as it prevail not2 against us: first, we must lay to our hearts this commandment of God3 forbidding rash anger, as a bar to stop it. Secondly, we must remember,4 how lovingly and mercifully God deals with us every day, in forbearing and forgiving us: and therefore we ought to be like minded towards our brethren. Eph. 4. 31, 32.
