Quest. But what folly is in Anger?
Answ. First, Rashness, Isai. 32.4. Secondly, Stiffness, Jonah. 4.9. blind wilfulness. Thirdly, Outrageousness, Prov. 27.4. Fourthly, Unprofitableness. Anger unfitteth a man, First, To do good, Jam. 1.20. Secondly, To take good, 2 Kings 5.12. As a man when his house is all on a light fire, himself in the midst of it, can hear no direction given him from without, nor himself able to do ought within: So is a man in a burning anger, neither able to direct himself, nor to take counsel from others.
