There is also malice abroad, between man and man in controversing: and that kind of malice is principally here mentioned. Now this kind of malice is not always open and professed; for he that hateth, as the Wise man saith, many times dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him: there may be seven abominations in his heart, though he speak faird. And in another place, he saith, hatred may be hidden with lying lipse: but of what kind soever it be, it is exceeding naught, and to be avoided. Now concerning this sin, I further propound two things: 1. reasons. 2. remedies against it, and then I will touch some use of all.
