Sect. 3.
The second means to subdue anger, 1is to get out of the company of others, especially of them who have offended us, according to the example of Jonathan 1. Sam. 20. 34. who being justly provoked by his unjust and cruel father, rose from the table and departed, least by his fathers provocations, he might have done or said that which did not beseem him. whose practise if we would imitate, we shall not only appease our anger by removing out of our sight the object & cause thereof; and prevent further occasions of increasing it, but also cover our infirmities, which otherwise we should discover by the violence of the passion.
