Sect. 3.
Thirdly it maketh us subject to Gods 1anger: for as we forgive others, so doth God forgive us. Math. 6. 14. 15. If therefore we retain our anger towards our brethren, God will retain ⟨image 55⟩his anger towards us. We know by common experience, that he who is appointed an arbitrator or daysman to reconcile neighbours, is oftentimes by the froward behaviour and obstinate stiffness of the one party so offended and displeased, that whereas he was indifferent he is made an adversary: so the Lord playeth the part of an umpire or arbitrator, to work reconciliation between brethren; But if either of them be so stiff and contentious that he will not be reconciled, what doth he else but by refusing the Lords arbitrement and determination make God his enemy?
