1. Rash anger; when Parents are soon angry with their Children, when they will not give leave to their Judgments to consider, before they are angry. The wise man tells us,¹ the discretion of a man defers his anger, and that it is his Glory, to pass over a Transgression. Prov. 19.11. But brands rash anger with the mark of folly. He that is soon angry, dealeth foolishly, Prov. 14.17. 'Twas grave advice to one, not to be angry at any time, till he had first repeated the Greek Alphabet. To be angry without any cause, or upon every trivial, slight occasion; for any thing, that is not material in it self, or in it's consequent; for mere involuntary, and casual offences, and slips in our Children, such as without great care could not have been prevented; and for these to be so far exasperated, as to begin to hate, or more remissly to love them, is for a Father to fire the Beacon of his Soul, for the Landing of a Cock-boat. 'Tis that, that exposes the Father to his Child's contempt, and Gods judgement. Mat. 5.22.
