Ephesians4:31
Verſe 31. Let all bitterneſſe, &c.] If the godly man ſuddenly fall into bitter words, it maketh the holy Ghoſt ſtir within him.
And clamour and evil speaking] Theſe are as ſmoke to the eyes, and make the Spirit ready to loath and leave his lodging.
Be put away from you] When any luſt ariſeth, pray it down preſently (ſaith one:) for otherwiſe we are endangered by yeelding to grieve, by grieving to reſiſt, by reſiſting to quench, by quenching, maliciouſly to oppoſe the Spirit. Sin hath no bounds, but thoſe which the Spirit pats, whom therefore we ſhould not grieve.
