Because man's wrath goes nothing near
to God's most righteous path.
3.16.
For wheresoever strife takes place,
and lusts of envy lurk,
There is confusion in such case,
and every evil work.
Prov. 21.24. Eccles. 7.9.
Proud haughty scorner is his Name,
in whom proud passion rules:
And anger rests not in the flame,
but in the breast of fools.
16.32.
Whereas the slow to wrath excell
a Champion in renown,
And he that rules his spirit well,
the man that takes a Town:
1 Pet. 3.4.
Put on therefore the Ornament
of meek and quiet minds,
Which in God's sight is eminent,
and great acceptance finds.
