 werkis & speke fewe Iangelyngis / 577 After this cometh the  
 the synne of Iapers that ben the deuillis apis For they make  
 folk to laughe at her Iaperye / as folk doon atte gawdes of an  
 ape Suche Iapis defendeth saint Poule 578 Loke how that vertu  
 ous wordes & holy conforten hem that trauaylen in the seruise  
 of Crist / Right so comforten the vileyns wordes & knac-  
 kis of Iapers hem that trauaylen in the seruise of the deuil  
 579 Alle thyse ben the synnys of the tunge that comyn of Ire  
 and of other synnys . 580 The remedye ayenst Ire is a vertu  
 that clepen mansuetude that is debonairte / and eke another  
 vertu that men clepen pacience 583 Seynt Iherome saith thus  
 of debonairte that it doth harm to no wight ne saith none  
 harm that men hym do ne seyn ne changeth not ayenst reson  
 584 This vertu cometh somtyme of nature For as saith þe philo  
 sopher a man is a quyk thing by nature debonair & tretable  
 by goodnes But whan debonairte is enfourmed of grace it  
 is the more worthy / 585 Pacience is another remedye ayenst yre &  
 is a vertu þt men suffre suetely euery mānes goodnes / and is  
 not wroth for none harme þt is doon to hym / 586 The philosopher  
 saith / that pacience is that vertu that suffreth debonairly al þe  
 outrage of aduersite / & euery wicked word / 587 This vertu ma  
 keth a man like to god & maketh hym his owen dere child .  
 as saith crist this vertu discōfiteth thin enemye And therfore  
 saith the wise man yf thou wolt vinquyshe thin enemye see þt  
 thou be paciente / Suffrance is another vertu ayenst Ire / and  
 that is whan he suffreth swetly alle anoyance & the wrongis  
 that men do a man outward / 588 Thou shalt vnderstande that  
 a man suffreth iiij maner of greuancis in outward thingis  
 Ayenst which foure he must haue foure maner of pacience .
