Sect. 4.
The fourth means to work patience 1and repel anger is to consider the necessity hereof, for if the love of our brethren be not of more force to restrain us from revenge, then anger to provoke us thereunto, we can have no assurance that we are the children of God. 1. John 3. 10. In this are the children of God 2known and the children of the devil, whosoever doth not righteousness, is not of God neither be that loveth not his brother▪ so verse 15. Whosoever hateth his brother is a man slayer, and no manslayer hath eternal life abiding in him.
