Whereby a man doth not only bear adversities, injuries, reproaches & such like, but also with patience waiteth for the amendment of those which have done him any wrong. When the Devil cannot by force overcome those which are tempted, then seeketh he to overcome them by long continuance. For he knoweth that we be earthen vessels which can not long endure & hold out many knocks & violent strokes: therefore with long ⟨p. 262⟩continuance of temptations he overcometh many.
