Four treatises tending to dissuade all Christians from four no less heinous then common sins; namely, the abuses of swearing, drunkenness, whoredom, and bribery.

The most usual name used by the Hebrews to signify anger is Aph, which signifieth also the Nose, and by a synecdoche the whole face: which name is given unto it either because in a mans anger the breath doth more vehemently and often issue out of the nose, which is as it were the smoke issuing from the flame kindled about the heart, or else because in the face anger is soonest discerned, by the often intercourse and change of colours.

Our English word anger is derived from the latin word ⟨p. 4⟩Angor, which either signifieth throttling and choking, or vexation and grief, because anger worketh both these effects if it be immoderate: for it stops the throat leaving no passage for words, and it vexeth and tormenteth both the body and the mind.
