10 Heady violence is accompanied with stoutness of heart both towards God and men, it proceeds from a natural rashness: But holy violence is accompanied with humiliation, Revel. 3. 19. The Church of Laodicea 1is commanded to be zealous and repent. Their zeal for God must be joined with the breaking of their own hearts. So the zeal of the Corinthians, 2 Cor. 7. 11. was accompanied with a godly sorrow, 2with fear, with indignation against themselves, with revenge. And thus much shall suffice for the fourth particular, and last branch of the use of instruction; namely, the difference between heady and holy violence. And so much for the third use.
