The fourth sin to be avoided, is Passion, or perturbation; 1and that hath in it both uncheerfulness and unquietness. Uncheerfulness, when men are not content with their callings, or gifts, or estates, 1. Cor. 7. 17. Unquietness, when men are froward, and carry themselves peevishly, or cholerically with those that are about them. This sin of frowardness is vehemently censured and condemned in Scripture, Pro. 11. 29. Psa. 37. 8. Pro. 16. 32. & 19. 11. & 25. 28. whereas God requires a quiet, contented ⟨p. 634⟩and merry heart, Pro. 17. 22. Eccl. 9. 7, 8.
