The fifth rule is in Ephes. 4.26. Let not the Sun set upon your wrath. A very necessary rule; for seeing we be but men, we cannot be without many sinful motions, and especially of revenge upon occasion: but here we are counselled forthwith to stay and repress them▪ yea and to break them utterly off: that although anger, wrath, and revengeful thoughts will arise up in our hearts, yet we must extinguish them, and not suffer them to continue with us, no not for the space of a day. The same Christ himself hath taught, Mar. 11.25. When ye stand to pray, forgive, if ye have any thing against any man. So often then as we are to pray (which is at the least daily) so often are we to forgive injuries offered to us, for we pray to be forgiven as our selves do forgive others: men content themselves to carry their wrath a whole year together, and if they forgive once a year at Easter, or at the receiving of the Sacrament once a quarter, it is as much (they think) as they need to do: but they forget that the Sun must not go down upon their wrath.

A very necessarie rule; for seeing we be but men, we cannot be without many sinfull motions, and especially of reuenge vpon occasion: but here we are counselled forthwith to stay and represse them▪ yea and to break them vtterly off: that although anger, wrath, and reuengefull thoughts will arise vp in our hearts, yet we must extinguish them, and not suffer them to continue with vs, no not for the space of a day. The same Christ himselfe hath taught, Mar. 11.25. When ye stand to pray, forgiue, if ye haue any thing against any man. So often then as we are to pray (which is at the least daily) so often are we to forgiue iniuries offered to vs, for we pray to be forgiuen as our selues doe forgiue others: men content themselues to carry their wrath a whole yeere together, and if they forgiue once a yeere at Easter, or at the receiuing of the Sacrament once a quarter, it is as much (they thinke) as they neede to doe: but they forget that the Sunne must not goe downe vpon their wrath.
