Anger in God is not a passion as it is in men: God is not capable of being angry after that manner that men are angry: men are so angry sometimes that they cannot forget an injury: they are quite overruled with this passion; passion masters them they are in servitude to it: but God is not passionate, he is never transported with anger, anger is but figuratively applied unto God, it notes his will to punish and chasten men for their sins: but in men it is a violent affection that many times they cannot restrain.
