(Samuel Wesley, 1706).
Anger, and some sort of aversion, I own to be more difficult to subdue when we meet with any displeasing object, though even these have too often pride or interest at the bottom; and if we reflect justly, we shall find we are seldom angry but when one of them is touched upon. Either we think our mighty selves are affronted, or there is something of rivalship in the case, and another obtains what we think is our due.
(Samuel Wesley, 1706).
