Barly-water, or Coole-anger.
DOth the heate of anger boyle in a mans
heart; and enrageth him to some violent
and precipitate courses? Let him extract
from this garden the iuyce of many cooling
herbes; and among the rest a drinke of Barly-wa∣ter;
a Tysan of Meekenesse, to coole this fire. He
that hath proceeded to anger, is a man: he that
hath not proceeded to sinfull, harmefull anger, is
a Christian, Iras••i hominis, i••iurtam non facere
Christiani. The most louing man will chide his
friend sweetly; and he that doth not, hates him in
his heart. Sic vigelit tolerantia, vt non dormiat
disciplina. But hee will not be transported with
anger, to the losse of his friends, of himselfe. He
considers, that God is prouoked euery day, yet is
long suffering, & of great goodnes. He heares that
others speake ill of him: he iudgeth not without
certaine knowledge. Knowing, hee suffers not
himselfe abused. It were sillinesse to beleeue all;
sullennesse to beleeue none. The wrong done to
God and a good conscience must moue him.

Non patitur ludum fama, fides, oculus.
A mans name, his faith, and his eye must not
be iested withall. Yet when he is most angry, he
recollects himselfe, and clappes vpon his heate
a Tysan of meekenesse.
