Four treatises tending to dissuade all Christians from four no less heinous then common sins; namely, the abuses of swearing, drunkenness, whoredom, and bribery. Wherein the greatness and odiousness of these vices is discovered; and the means and remedies, which may either preserve, or wean men from them, are propounded.

Lastly, this manifestly appeareth in that this affection was truly and naturally in our Saviour Christ himself as he was man,1 as it is evident Mark. 3.5. where it is said that he looked angerly upon the Scribes and Pharisees, mourning for the hardness of their hearts: so likewise being incited with an holy anger, to see his Fathers house turned into a market, he driveth the buyers and sellers out of the Temple,2 John. 2.17. Seeing then Christ was angry and yet free from all sin, it followeth that Anger in it own nature is just and holy.
