Sect. 8.
Secondly as anger hurteth the soul ⟨image 62⟩by blinding reason, so also it doth macerate 1and vex it by inflaming it with fury; for what greater torment can be imagined then to have the mind distracted upon the rack of rage? as therefore we would account him a mad man, who with his own hands should set his house on fire and consume it: so alike mad is •e to be thought, who will set his soul on fire with the raging flames of anger, wherein it is not only tormented in this life, but also (without repentance) in the life to come it shall be tormented everlastingly; because unjust anger i• murder in Gods sight, as appeareth. Math. 5. 22. and murderers shall not inherit the kingdom of God, but 2have their portion in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone, which 3is the second death. Revel. 21. 8.
