MIlk quenches Wild-fire, Oyle (says Luther) quenches Lime, which water sets on fire. Opposition will heat, will fire men, when meekness and gentleness will still and quench all. Cicero says, Sweetness in speech and carriage is that which seasons friendship; severity in every thing and sadness must not be among friends in their converse; such a kind of car∣riage may have a seeming gravity, but friendship must have a remisness, it must be more free and sweet, disposed to all mild∣ness and easiness, Ephes. 4.2, 3. Meekness comes in as a speci∣al grace for peace and unity, so Col. 3.12.
