O that we could learn of him to be so far masters of our selves, that when just occasion of anger doth offer it self, we might then command our selves to forbear bitter and reviling speeches, and not be so transported beyond our selves, as to rail, swear, curse, threaten, and it may be worse than all this. Most men, when anger begins to boil, forget almost that they be men, altogether that they be Christian men, and are so madded, that they care not what vile language proceeds out of their mouths, and what sharpness of a razor they discover in their tongues; •erifying that of S. James, That the tongue is set on fire of hell, and it self sets on fire the whole course of nature; and that though our Saviour have so manifestly adjudged to hell, him that doth rail at his brother with the name of Fool.

See your folly and pride in this venting of distempered anger, and bewail it, and now learn of Gods faithful servant Jacob (so honourable a Patriarch, that by him the whole Church is called Jacob and Israel) to be so angry, as not to sin by being driven forth into bitterness of carriage.
