It's not from God, nor his Spirit; It's not from Christ and his Word, 1that they are given to such froward, malicious, and turbulent dispositions. This Doctrine hath its great use.

Insomuch, as humanity, which hath been taken for courtesy, kindness and civility, may be put for malice, hatred, and all violent unjust dealings one with another.
