Secondly, Michael.Angelo de Caravaggio, born 
at that village In Milan, in 1569. He was at firft no more 
than a bricklayer’s labourer; but he was fo charmed at 
feeing fome painters at work, that he immediately applied 
himfelf to the art; and made inch a progrefs in a few 
years, that he was admifed. as the author of a new.fty.le in 
painting. It was ohferved of Michael Angelo Buonaroti, 
that he was incomparable in defigning, but knew little of 
colouring; and of Caravaggio, that he had as good a gout 
in colouring as he had a bad one in defigning. There is 
one picture of his in the Dominican church at Antwerp, 
w.hicli Rubens ufed to call his mailer. It is faid of this 
painter, that he was fo ftrangely contentious, that the pen¬ 
cil was no Cooner out of his hand but his fword was in it. 
He died in 1609. 
Angelo (St.) a fmall but ftrong town of Italy, in the

AN'GELOS (I, os), a province of Mexico, the ancient 
republic of Tlafcala, of which a city called Tlafcala was 
once the capital. That city is now reduced to an inconii- 
derable village, and has given place to another, called 
Puebla dcs los- Angelos, or the City of Angels. It is fituated 
in lat. 19. 13. N. and Ion. 103. 12. W. It was formerly 
an Indian town ; but in 1530 was entirely abandoned by 
the natives, on account of the cruelties of the Spaniards. 
A fucceeding viceroy of Mexico, by a milder treatment, 
recalled them; and the town is now exceedingly rich and 
populous, fo as even to vie with Mexico itfelf in magnifi¬ 
cence. It is fituated on the river Zacatula, in a fine val¬ 
ley, about twenty-five leagues to the eaftward of Mexico. 
In the middle is a beautiful and fpacious fq.uare, from 
whence run the principal ftreets in direft lines, which are 
eroded by others at right angles. One fide is almoft en¬ 
tirely occupied by the magnificent front of the cathedra! ; 
while the other three coniifts of piazzas, under whiclTare 
the fhops of tradefmen. The city is the lee of a bifnop, 
fuffragan to the archbifhop of Mexico ; and we may form 
a judgment of the wealth of the place by the revenue of 
the cathedral, and chapter, which amounts to 300,000 
pieces of eight annually. It muft be remembered, how¬ 
ever, that in all popilh countries the wealth of the laity 
by no means bears the fame proportion to that of the cler¬ 
gy as in Britain. What contributes greatly to encreafe 
the riches of this province is, that here is fituated the city 
of Vera Cruz, the natural centre of all the American 
treafures belonging to Spain.

Anger is either deliberate or inftinbtive ; and the lattey 
kind is rrfh and ungovernable, becaufe it operates blind¬ 
ly, without affording time for deliberation and forefight.

Bifhop Butler very juftly cbferves, that anger is far fr6rn 
being a felfiih pallion, iince it is naturally excited by in¬ 
juries offered to others as well as to ourfelvcs ; and was 
defigned by the Author of nature not only to excite us to 
atf yigotioufly in defending ourfelves from evil, but to in- 
tereff us in the defence or refeue of the injured and help- 
lefs, and to raife us above the fear of the proud and migh¬ 
ty oppreffor. 
Neither, therefore, is all anger finful : hence the pre¬ 
cept, “ Be ye angry and fin not.” It becomes finful, how¬ 
ever, and con trad idfts the rule of feripture, when it is con¬ 
ceived upon (light and inadequate provocations; and when 
it continues long. It is then contrary to the amiable fpl- 
rit of charity, which “ fuffereth long, and is not eaiily 
provoked.” Hence thefe other precepts, “ Let every man 
be (low to anger;” and, “ Let not the lun go down upon 
your wrath.” Thefe precepts, and all reasoning indeed 
upon the fubjeff, fuppofe the paflion of anger to be within 
our power ; and this power confifts not fo much in any fa¬ 
culty we have of appeafing our wrath at the time, (for we 
are paffive under the fmart which an injury or affront oc- 
calions, and all we can then do is to prevent its breaking 
out into affion,) as in. fo mollifying our minds by habits 
of juft reflection, as to be lefs irritated by impreflions of 
injury, and to be fooner pacified. Add to this, the inde¬ 
cency of extravagant anger; how it renders us, whilft it 
lalts, the (corn and*fport of all about us, and leaves us, 
when it ceafes, fenfible and alhamed ; the inconveniences 
and irretrievable mifeonduef into which our irrafeibility 
has foijietimes betrayed us ; the friendlhips it has loft us; 
the diftreffes and embarralfments in which we have,been 
involved by it, and the fore repentance which on one ac¬ 
count or other it always cofts us. 
Phyficians and naturalifts have recorded many inftances 
of very extraordinary effects produced by the paflion of 
anger. Borrichius cured a woman of an inveterate tertian 
ague, which had baffled the art of phylic, by putting the 
patient in a furious fit of anger. Valeriola made ufe of 
the fame means, with like fuccefs, in a quartan ague. The 
fame paflion has been equally falutary to paralytic, gouty* 
and even duiftb, perfons; to which laft it has fometimes 
given the ufe of fpeech. Eimuller gives divers inftances 
of very Angular cures wrought by anger; among others* 
he mentions a perfon laid up in the gout, who, being pro¬ 
voked by his phyfician, flew Upon him, and was cured'. 
It is true, the remedy is fomewhat dangerous in the appli¬ 
cation, when a patient does not know how to ufe it with 
moderation. We meet with feveral inftances of perfons to 
whom it has proved fuddenly mortal. There are alfo in¬ 
ftances wherein it has produced the epilepfy, jaundice, 
cholera morbus, diarrhoea, &c. In fact, this paflion throws 
the whole nervous fyftem into preternatural commotions, 
and furprifingly augments the fyftole of the heart and con¬ 
tiguous veffels. It alfo injures the tone of the whole ma¬ 
chine. By the fpafmodic effeft it produces on the ftomach 
and inteftines, very dangerous confequences are liable to 
enfue. Its effect on the biliary, and hepatic duffs is alfo 
very furprifing; Iince, by an intenfe conftriffion of thefe 
parts, a hidden and univerfal jaundice has frequently been 
produced. The liver is fometimes alfo rendered fchirrhous, 
and (tones are generated in the gall-bladder and biliary 
duffs, in confequence of an obftrufftion of the bile. Be- 
lides thefe effeffs, it is evident from experience, that anger 
has a great tendency to excite enormous haemorrhages, 
either from the nofe, the lungs, the veins of the anus, or, 
in women, from the uterus, efpecially in thofe previoufly 
difpofed to fuch evacuations. 
To Anger, v. a. To make angry ; to provoke ; to en¬ 
rage.—Who would anger the meaneft artifan, which car- 
rieth a good mind ? Hooker. —There are fome late taxes 
and impofitions introduced, which rather anger than grieve 
the people. Clarendon. To make painful.—He turneth
