but
what
comes,
of
ir,
now
a
meekheart
when
it
is
angry
it
will
look
at
this,
O let it
be
regúlatedfo
far
as
I
may have
good
of
it,
let
me have
holy
ends,
and holy aimes
in
my anger:
As
now,
am
I
angry-with
a
child,
why
it
is
to the
end that
I
might
i

as
that the child
may
amend,
"and

all
thîngs,
knows
that
when
I
do
let
out
my
anger
againa
any
man or woman,
or

I
do
aime
at
the
goo
of
them,
and
did
I.
'beleeve that to be
Gentle
towards
them,'
and
not
to
manifefl my anger
would do them more good,
why
they
i

this fhould
be

are
they
that are
thus
meek, that
have thus much
power
to
overcome
the
paflìon
of their
anger,

Now
I
i1,oild
:have
crown
many wayes why
thole
who are thus
meek
are bleffed
here,
and

bleffed. There
is
as much
laid of
