3. A spirit of valour. Such a one as is indeed the spirit of a soldier of this Lord of Hosts; when hardness, when troubles come, it is able to endure them. 2 Tim. 2. 3. As a good soldier of Jesus Christ, endure hardness. Many seem to be resolute before troubles come, but when they come, they cannot bear them. Romanū est fortia pati, a speech of Mutius Scaevola: More true, Christianum est fortia pati; if part of a Roman to suffer great things, much more of a Christian. If you be dainty, and cannot suffer, you are not fit to be a Christian; Nimis delicatus es, saith Tertullian, you are too delicate.

The Eagle shows the generousness of her spirit, that though she suffers hunger, she will not make a noise, as other fowls do when they want meat; it is not for a soldier to complain of cold, of want of a meal or two, of hard lodging, &c.
