Anger is a fire;1 and (as Solomon saith) can a man take fire in his bosom, and not be burned? so I may say, can a man carry anger in his bosom, and not burn himself, if not others with it? And as fire is blown up by bellows, so is anger by provocation. The anger of God is expressed in a heat (Deut. 29.24.) What meaneth the heat of this great anger (ver. 20.) The anger of the Lord and his jealousy shall smoke against that man. And (Psal. 2.12.) If his wrath be kindled but a little, &c. The least sparklings of it are terrible. The anger of God is a most dreadful fire; and the anger of man hath much dread in it. We have need to look to our passions. Fire is good, but it must be kept in its due place; fire on the hearth, fire in the chimney is good, but fire in the roof, or among the household stuff consumeth all. There is (as I may say) an hearth for anger where it will do no hurt.
