Sect. 9.
The second thing required in the manner, 1is that we observe christian modesty and charity in abstaining from malicious and wicked speeches, or unjust and spiteful actions in expressing our anger; and to this purpose we are always to remember of what spirit ⟨p. 16⟩we are; for undoubtedly how just soever our cause be, if we defend it with spiteful and bitter speeches it is not the spirit of God which speaketh in us. Let us rather follow the example 2of our saviour Christ, who when he was buffeted and grossly abused reproved the offender with great mildness; and of Michael Th'archangel who when he strove with the Devil himself about the body of Moses, durst not 3blame him with cursed speaking, but said the Lord rebuke thee.
