VI. Is not easily provoked thinketh
no evil." Not soon tempered or
stirred up – (Paul at Athens) – Not prone
to violent anger – exasperation – not
passionate, hasty, excited. But calm,
sober, considerate – letting anger have
a moment to cool. If we truly love

get enraged, & so enrage others.

Imputes no wrong motives – lets
things pass so far as they may for what
they seem. Thinks no evil is where none is seen.
