3 Doctrine. The Lord is slow to anger (or, long-suf∣fring.)
〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 long of anger.] Which is meant not in respect of the continuance of His anger (for so he is quite contrary, as we shall see in the next verse, and Psal. 30.5. Isa. 54.8.) but in respect of the beginning of it: that is, He is long ere He will be an∣gry. For thus is the phrase every where ta∣ken, whether spoken of God or man. And so also 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 Prov. 19.11. The dis∣cretion of a man deferres his anger, or, makes him slow to anger. So Isa. 48.9. In like manner 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 Eccles. 7.8. To which are contrary 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 short of anger & 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉
