VVRATH.
A Foole immediatli discouereth his anger, he that hideth his iniurie, is wise and craftie.
An angry person prouoketh contenci∣on, but he that is paciene, appeaseth de∣bate when it is stirred.
Be not familiar with a man ful of an∣ger, nor kepe not company with a furi∣ous person, least thou learne his waies, and cause the soule therby to offende.
Let euery man be swifte in herynge, slowe in speche, & slowe in displeasure.
By wrathe, wisedome is lost, so that it can not appere, what shoulde be done,
The chiefe remedy of angre is delaye, that the furie maie abate, and the darke∣nesse that maketh witte blinde, may de∣cay, or at the least w•• y be not so grosse.
Haste and wrathe be the chiefe enne∣mies of counsayle.
Plato beyng demaunded, whereby a wise man is best knowen, he said: A wise man whan he is rebuked, is therewith not angrie, nor any thinge the prouder whan he is preised.
