Sect. 9.
And so much for the evils which anger 1bringeth to a mans self: now we are to entreat of the evils which it bringeth to our neighbour. First it overthroweth that excellent and comfortable virtue to mankind true friendship; for there was never any friendship so inviolable, which anger (if it were admitted) hath not violated. And hence it is that wise Solomon counselleth us not to make friendship with an angry man, because he will be sure to break it. Pro. 22. 24. well 2therefore may that speech of Juno to Alecto be applied to anger.
