The married Couple therefore must study and pray for a meek and quiet spirit; mortify pride, learn self-denial, and sometimes wisely⁽ⁿ⁾ withdraw till the storm be over; and hold their peace, to keep the peace. They must consider (as Holy Mr. Bolton saith) that two Angels are not met together, but too sinful children of Adam, from whom little can be expected but weakness and waywardness. They must reckon the greatest worth and honour to be first in Overtures of Peace, and never suffer those unnatural heats to ferment.

This is certain, he or she that can without scruple injure the other, is not kept from wronging others by any honest Principle. And lastly, let them consider, that it is much better to give place to one another, than by nourishing anger to give place to the Devil.
