God's anger

There be three sorts of actions proceeding from the soul: some internal and immaterial, as the pure acts of our wits and wills; some external and material, as the mere acts of our sense others mixed, between both, and bordering upon both the former; which Saint Augustine says, the Greeks call [Greek or Hebrew], the Latins Perturbations. As the heart inspireth one and the same strength and life into all the parts of the body, for the better discharge of their diverse functions; though all the parts do not receive it in the same degree. The stomach by the virtue it receiveth, is made able to digest: the liver, to concoct the nutriment into blood: the spleen like a sponge, by sucking up the melancholy spirits, to purge the vital parts. So the soul breeds all these creatures, gives life to all these thoughts; yet according to their several acts and offices, they have several names. If they be sensitive, we call them passions: if sensual, lusts: if fantastical, Imaginations: if reasonable, arguments: if reflective, conscience: as they are evil, the suggestions of Satan: as good, the motions of the holy Ghost. As the world produceth vipers, and serpents, and venomous creatures, worms and caterpillars, that would devour their parent: so the soul breeds noxious and mutinous thoughts, that are like an earthquake in her bowels; and whiles they maintain civil broils and factions, one against another, she feels the smart of all.
