VIIPatience is the knowledge and agnizing of Gods Majesty, wisdom, justice, and goodness, resolving through a confidence in Gods promise, and so in hope of Gods assistance and deliverance, to obey God, in suffering those evils and adversities, which he sendeth on us, and willeth us to suffer; neither in respect of the grief which they bring, to murmur against God, or to do any thing against his Commandments, but in our dolour and grief, to retain still the confidence and hope of Gods assistance, to ask deliverance of him, and by this knowledge and full persuasion of Gods will, to mitigate and assuage our grief and pains:2 Hold thee still in the Lord, and abide patiently upon him. Hope thou in the Lord, and keep his way, and he shall promote thee. Humility and Patience belong unto the first Commandment, not only because they are parts of that internal obedience, which God requireth immediately to be performed unto him, but also because they follow and accompany the true knowledge, or confidence, love and fear of God, as necessary effects of the same.
