Shall then a man not be angry at all, nor rebuke or punish: yes, if thou be a father or a mother, master, or ma• s•sse, 1husband, Lord, or ruler: yet with love and mercy, that the anger, rebuke, or punishment exceed not the fault or trespass. May a man be angry with love? yea, mothers can be so with their children. It is a loving anger that hateth only the vice, and studieth to mend the person. But here is forbidden not only wrath against father, mother, and all that have governance over thee, which is to be angry and to grudge against God himself, & that the ruler shall not be wrath without a cause against the subject. But also all private wrath against thy neighbour over whom thou hast no rule, nor he over thee, no though he do thee wrong. For he that doth wrong lacketh wit and discretion, and cannot amend till he be informed and taught lovingly. Therefore thou must refrain thy wrath, and tell him his fault lovingly, and with kindness win him to thy father: for he is thy brother as well made and as dear bought as thou, & as well beloved, though he be yet childish and lack discretion.

But here is forbiddē not onely wrath against father, mother, and all that haue gouernaūce ouer thee, which is to be angry and to grudge agaynst God himselfe, & that the ruler shall not be wrath without a cause agaynst the subiect. But also all priuate wrath against thy neighbour ouer whom thou hast no rule, nor he ouer thee, no though he do thee wrōg. For he that doth wrong lacketh witte and discretion, and cannot amende till he be enformed and taught louingly. Therefore thou must refrayne thy wrath, and tell him his fault louingly, and with kyndenesse winne him to thy father: for he is thy brother as well made and as deare bought as thou, & as well beloued, though he be yet childishe and lacke discretion.
