The Fountain of Life Opened

¹It's a power or ability in the soul to bear hard, heavy, and difficult things. Such only are the objects of patience. God hath ⟨p. 389⟩several sorts of burdens to impose upon his people. Some heavier, others lighter. Some to be carried but a few hours, others many days. Others all our days. Some more spiritual bearing upon the Soul. Some more external, touching or punishing the flesh immediately; and the spirit by way of Sympathy. And sometimes both sorts are laid on together. So they were at this time on Christ. His Soul burdened as deep as it could swim. Full of the sense, the bitter sense and apprehension of the wrath of God. His Body filled with tortures. In every member, and sense, grief took up his lodging. Here was the highest exercise of Patience.
