He explains Bible verses related to meekness and how Biblical characters exhibited meekness. Meekness "is one of the members of the new man, which we must put on. Put it on as armor, to keep provocations from the heart, and so to defend the vitals." Also "If there be any vindication or avenging necessary, (which infinite Wisdom is the best judge of) he can do it better than we can; therefore "give place unto wrath," that is, to the judgment of God, which is according to truth and equity; make room for him to take the seat, and do not you step in before him." The text is the American Tract Society version.
