Oh, I try to come closer to your meaning. Here, the [with] is its own original meaning that shows within your bad servant, you don't get angry. That way like to say: "I agree / argue with you." / "I am one with you." that also mean: "within you, I agree / I am one or the same".Wish to come to your mind. If so, I can just get by in this problem.
