The last cause of unjust anger, is want 1of meditation, concerning human infirmities, either those which are common to all mankind, or those which are more proper and peculiar to our selves. ⟨p. 63⟩if therefore we would be restrained from anger, we must often think of this contagious leprosy of original sin, which hath so generally infected all the the sons of Adam, that their remaineth nothing in us but pollution and filthiness. And then as one infected with the plague, is not offended with him that is subject to the same infection; As the Lazar doth neither with scorn nor choler, but rather with pity and compassion behold the sores of his fellow: so the plague and sore of sin which we see in another, will not make us angry with the party which is affected and visited, but rather in commiseration and pity to use all good means whereby he may be cured, if we consider that this plague and sore of sin is so universal that it hath infected all mankind.
