Sect. 1.
And so much concerning the causes and properties of unjust anger, now we are to speak of the kinds thereof. It admitteth of a twofold distinction: first it is either hidden and covert, or else professed and manifest. Hidden anger is 1of two sorts; the first is commendable when as men labour by all means possible to subdue the affection & to smother the flame after it is kindled that it burst not forth into unseemly words or actions savouring of revenge. And this is a fruit of the spirit, which when it cannot repel anger and keep it from entrance; in the next place it endeavoureth ⟨p. 36⟩to expel and repress it.
