Burning with anger.] Or, At the nose, which burneth with a grievous flame.
His lips are full of indignation, and his tongue, &c.] Est pulchra hypotyposis irae Dei, a gallant description of God’s anger, which yet is nothing else but his most just will to punish sin. These things and the like are spoken concerning God áíèñùðïðáèùò , and must be understood Yåïðñåðùò . Rash anger, as it dispossesseth a man of his soul, wit, and reason, so it disfigureth his body with firiness of the eyes, inflammation of the face, stammering of the tongue, gnashing of the teeth, a very harsh and hateful intension of the voice, &c.

“ S÷åôëéå, ôéðô åèåëåéò åñåèéæåìåí áãñéïí áíäñá .”
