Patience.

Patience, is an honest suffering of evils incident to nature: The points thereof are, To bear the loss of goods, sickness, sorrows, injuries, and other acci∣dents with courage; neither to complain, nor to groan, but discreetly to conceal your grief; to be afflicted in innocency for justice sake, and sometimes, even by those that are good, to covet and embrace persecutions, out of a generous desire to be conform∣able to the patience of the Saviour of the world.
