1 Who is patient in his own cause, but impatient in Gods cause. This was the temper of David. What the enemies did to David was but as a pin in the flesh, but what they did against God was as a sword in his bones. Isal. 42. 1 As with a sword in my bones mine enemies reproached […], whilst they say daily unto me, Where is thy God? The ⟨p. 34⟩reproaching of God was as death to him, as though he had been slain by it, as slaying ¹in my bones. Moses was a man very meek in his own wrongs, Numb. 12. 3. Moses was very meek above all the men that were upon the face of the earth; but in the cause of God, Exod 32. he carried himself as if he had ²been a man made up all of passion, he broke the tables of stone. So Jesus Christ was famous for his gentleness, he was a lamb for meekness, and yet in the cause of his Father, he applied that to himself; The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up, John 2. ³17.
