Sect. 4.
Lastly our anger is unlawful when 1as in our anger we propound unto our selves no lawful end; as the glory of God, the public good of the Church or common wealth, or the private benefit of our selves or of our neighbours: but rather private revenge and satisfying of our tumultuous affections by the hurt or destruction of him with whom we are displeased. And this is always to be observed in all examples of unjust anger, as in Cain's anger towards Abel; Sauls towards David; Nebuchadnezzar's towards the three children, the Scribes and Pharisees towards our Saviour Christ.
Lastlie our anger is vnlawfull when 1as in our anger we propound vnto our selues no lawfull end; as the glorie of God, the publicke good of the Church or common wealth, or the priuate benefit of our selues or of our neighbours: but rather priuate reuenge and satisfiyng of our tumultuous affections by the hurt or destruction of him with whom we are displeased. And this is alwayes to be obserued in all examples of vniust anger, as in Caines anger towards Abel; Saules towards Dauid; Nabuchadnezers towards the three children, the Scribes and Pharises towards our Sauiour Christ.
