Motive. 10 10. If all that hath been said will not serve to master ⟨p. 151⟩this bedlam-humour of wrath and anger; let me tell you, you are the persons whom God speaks of, who hate to be reformed; you are rebels against the Word; read and tremble, Isa. 30.8.9. Now go write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever, that this is a rebellious people, children that will not hear the Law of the Lord. If nothing yet will charm down the wrathful Devil, let me tell you, God hath charged every man not to meddle, or have any league of friendship with you, Prov. 22.24. Make no friendship with an angry man, and with a furious man thou shalt not go; What a monster is he among men, that every one is warned to beware of, and not come near, as one who is unfit for humane society; make no league saith God with THAT MAN; if thou takest him into thy society, thou takest a Snake into thy bosom; with a furious man thou shalt not go. Wilt thou walk with the Devil? the furious man is possessed with a wrathful Devil.
