Again, have none of you been passionate, angry, and full of threats, working in proud wrath as Solomon calls it, and as here, you may see wicked Lamech doing with an angry voice, and a countenance suitable thereto. You may be sure he calls upon his wives to leave their brawling and let him speak, and then blusters out these words, that he would kill the man whosoever should wrong him. Are not there some men among you so mad and furious, that they threaten blood and death to any that shall wrong them. O this wrathful and angry roaring as I may call it, is a sign of much folly and pride, and therefore do not please your selves in it, as they do most times that are given to it, but abhor it, and judge your selves for it, and humbly acknowledge to God, that you have deserved his wrath for showing your own wrath so immoderately. And lastly consider, have you not been revengeful men? that would take no wrong but return death and slaughter for a stroke, a wound, and seven yea twenty, and if you were able an hundred blows for one, yea death for a word speaking, and a great evil for a little.
