Proverbs13:10
10. Only by pride cometh contention , but with the well-advised is wisdom .
Which is not to be understood exclusively as to all other causes; for contentions oft spring from Ignorance, or Mistake, or Covetousness, or other Passions, but eminently, because as Pride bloweth up those coals of Contention which other Lusts kindle, so oft-times Pride alone, without any other cause, stirreth up strife; which it doth by making a man self-conceited in his opinions, and obstinate in his Resolutions, and impatient of any opposition, and many other ways.
Who are not governed by their own passions, but by prudent consideration, and the good Counsel of others.
Which teacheth them to avoid and abhor all contention.
