2. And this Impatience turneth to a setled Discontent and Ʋnquietness or Spirit, which affecteth the Body it self, and lieth all day as a Load or continual Trouble at the Heart.
3. And Impatience and Discontent do set the Thoughts on the Rack with Grief and continual Cares, how to be eased of the troubling Cause; they can scarce think of any thing else; and these Cares do even feed upon the Heart, and are to the Mind as a consuming Fever to the Body.

4. And the secret Root or Cause of all this, is the worst part of the Sin, which is, too much Love to the Body, and this World. Were nothing ov••loved, it would have no power to torment us; if Ease and Health were not overloved, Pain and Sickness would be the more tolerable; if Children and Friends were not overloved, the Death of them would not overwhelm us with inordinate sorrow; if the Body were not overloved, and worldly wealth and Prosperity overvalued, it were easy to endure hard Fare, and Labour, and Want, not only of Superfluities and Conveniences, but even of that which is necessary to Health, yea, or Life it self, if God will have it so; at least, to avoid Vexations, Discontents, and Cares, and inordinate Grief and Trouble of mind.
