Again, another ground of lightness, and of that decay in authority and 1respect that comes from it, is the passion of men: therefore they are light; they are carried with the hurry, and wind of their passion. And Satan joins with passion. A passionate man is subject to Satan more then a man that is led by reason, or with grace. For that is a beam of God; even reason it self, judgment, it is an excellent thing, and it prevents many temptations.

- 12. Passion.
Give not way to passion, for those are unreasonable things. As we see Saul in his passion, Satan, the evil spirit mingled with his passion of anger. So let men be in any passion, over-joy, or be over-angry; let them give the rains to unruly passion, and they give advantage to Satan, that we cannot settle our souls in any good resolution.
