Sect. 8.
The eight means to prevent anger, 1is to avoid the company of those who are angry and choleric: because men will easily be infected with their contagion. And this Solomon teacheth us. Pro. 22. 24. Make no friendship with an ⟨p. 70⟩angry man, neither go with the furious man, least thou learn his ways and receive destruction to thy soul. And also because they are likely to be provoked by them, and to receive the heat of their flame. For as one stick of wood being set on fire, doth kindle that also which is next unto it: So one man being inflamed with anger, inflameth them also who are near about him with his provocations.
