| by word or by dede / 462 Ire after the philosopher is the feruent | |||
| blood of man y quyckend in his herte / thurgh whiche he | |||
| wille harme to hym that he hateth / 463 For certes the herte of | |||
| man by eschafyng and meuyng of his blood wexeth so | |||
| trobled that he is out of al Iugement of resons / 464 But ye | |||
| shul vnderstande that Ire is in two maners / Oon of hem | |||
| is good and that other is wicked / 465 The good Ire is by | |||
| Ielousye of goodnes thorugh the whiche a man is wroth | |||
| with wickednes and agaynst wickednes / And therfore | |||
| saith the wyseman that Ire is better than playe / 466 This Ire | |||
| is with debonayrte and it is wrath withoute bitternes . | |||
| not wroth agaynst the man / but wroth with the mysdede | |||
| of the man as saith the prophet / Irascimini et nolite peccare | |||
| 467 Now vnderstonde that wicked Ire is in two maners that | |||
| is to saye sodeyn Ire or hasty Ire without auisement and | |||
| consentyng of his reson / 468 The menyng and the sense of | |||
| this / is that reson of a man ne consenteth not to that so- | |||
| deyn Ire / and than is it venyal / 469 Another Ire is that is | |||
| ful wickid that cometh of felonye of herte auysed and | |||
| cast byfore with wicked wyl to do vengeance / and therto | |||
| his reson consentith and sothly this is dedely synne / 470 This | |||
| Ire is so displaysaunt to god that it troublyth his hous | |||
| and chacyth the holy gost out of mannys soule 471 and put | |||
| in hym the sekenes of the deuyl and benymeth the man fro | |||
| god that is his rightful lord / 472 This Ire is a ful gret ple- | |||
| saunce to the deuyl for it is the deuillis furneys that he en- | |||
| chaunsith with the fyre of helle / 473 For certes as fyre | |||
| is more myghty to destroye erthly thingis than another ele- | |||
| ment / Right so ire is mighty to destroye al spirituel thingis | |||
