Sect. 7.
Do not therefore hereafter excuse thy furious and rash anger by alleging thy nature, for thou mightest as well say, I cannot abstain from it, because I am carnal and unregenerate, as because I am hasty by nature: for those who have laid aside the old man, and are renewed by Gods spirit, have this affection partly tamed and subdued, and partly sanctified, reformed, and made fit for necessary and profitable uses: whereas on ⟨p. 43⟩the other side they that let the reins loose to this corrupt affection were never washed with the water of Gods spirit, and consequently while they continue in this state cannot enter into the kingdom of Heaven Joh. 3. 5.
