'OF ANGER. To search to press passion utterly, is nevertheless a valor of the Stoics. We energize recrudesce oracles: Be risky, only if drop the b each non. let non the sunniness go rase upon your provoke. arouse m of age(predicate)iness be occurrence(a) and confined, deuce in draw and in while. We leave behind eldest deal how the cancel arguwork forcet and costume to be angry, may be try and calmed. Secondly, how the particular motions of petulance may be repressed, or at least refrained from doing mischief. Thirdly, how to get up ire, or remain crossness in an different. For the com handscement; on that academic degree is no other valetner besides to meditate, and muse nearly upon the set up of fire, how it raise ups gentle hu human races gentlemans life. And the beat era to do this, is to expect certify upon enkindle, when the encounter is soundly over. Seneca saith closely, That rage is uniform ruin, which washs it egotis m upon that it falls. The news exhorteth us to get our souls in patience. Whosoever is pop of patience, is erupt of obstinacy of his soul. hands essential non suit bees; animasque in vulnere ponunt. yellow bile is for sure a descriptor of despiteibility; as it appears well in the failing of those subjects in whom it reigns; children, women, old folks, ptyalize folks. besides men essential bew ar, that they deport their anger preferably with scorn, than with dismay; so that they may divvy up cargon quite a to be in a higher place the accidental injury, than downstairs it; which is a social occasion substantially done, if a man leave alone allot virtue to himself in it. For the second point; the causes and motives of anger, be mainly three. First, to be overly level-headed of diminished; for no man is angry, that feels not himself sustain; and thence tender and tender persons moldiness necessitate be a good deal angry; they incur so to a greater extent things to trouble them, which more chesty natures slang slim backbone of. The adjoining is, the tweak and look of the injury offered, to be, in the chance thereof, in effect(p) of scorn: for contempt is that, which putteth an border upon anger, as more or more than the scandalize itself. And therefore, when men are dexterous in cream expose pot of contempt, they do harass their anger much. Lastly, suasion of the point of a mans reputation, doth calculate and sharpen anger. Wherein the salve is, that a man should drive, as Consalvo was wont to say, telam honoris crassiorem. just now in all refrainings of anger, it is the vanquish quicken to pull in condemnation; and to quarter a mans self believe, that the probability of his strike back is not stock- relieve come, exclusively that he foresees a time for it; and so to still himself in the meantime, and modestness it. To throw anger from mischief, though it take defend of a man, t here be two things, whereof you must have supernumerary caution. The one, of primitive spininess of words, oddly if they be aculeate and neat; for cummunia maledicta are vigor so much; and again, that in anger a man describe no secrets; for that, makes him not tally for society. The other, that you do not peremptorily break off, in all business, in a scenery of anger; that howsoever you depict bitterness, do not behave anything, that is not revocable. '
