2 Patience is not so much in ••e outward stillness of the body and show of the face, as1 in the inward quietness of the heart, and meekness of the spirit. Therefore David, Psal. 4▪ biddeth us examine our selves upon our beds, and be still: and Isaiah, 30▪ the Lord saith, your help shall be in silence and peace: and therefore David and Job being in trouble, said they would lay their hands on their mouths: for when a man doth thus possess his soul in patience, he is most fit for the mercies of God, and then shall he receive the greatest profit by them.2 For as in bodily diseases to be quiet, is a great ease and help: so it in other troubles whatsoever, and therefore must we especially labour for it.
