Sect. 2.
But let us see the means how 1we may subdue anger after it hath given the assault. The means is by withdrawing the food from it, wherewith it is nourished. For as the greatest fire if new matter be not supplied will of it self go out: so the most furious anger will soon be mitigated, if it be not continually nourished with a new supply of matter.2
