And now ever mortify anger and wrath, and revengeful boiling of heart, for he that nourisheth wrath, malice, envy in his spirit within, shall at last be carried away so far with that inward distemper, that if occasion offer it self, he shall flame forth into the gross act of murder. All corruptions being fed in the heart within, do gather such strength, that if there be fitness of occasion they will break out indeed: O bring not your selves into such a temper, that the Devil shall have you in readiness to make murderers of, if ever he can fit you with time and place and other circumstances.

Beware of bloods, beware of bloods, this sin tears the conscience in an hundred pieces when once it is made sensible. This sin leaves a deep stain, it begets grievous horrors, and makes the soul still fierce in pronouncing evil against it, after it hath been fierce in doing so great an evil unto others. Pray to God to preserve you from it, and get meek, gentle, quiet, patient spirits, which may keep you from being provoked with wrongs.
