Use. ¹As we would demonstrate our selves godly, let us be eminent in this grace of patience, Eccles. 7. 8. The patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit: There are some Graces which we shall have no need of in heaven; we shall have no need of Faith when we have full Vision, nor patience when we have perfect joy; but in a dark sorrowful night, there is need of these stars to^* shine: Let us show our patience in bearing Gods will; patience in bearing Gods will is two-fold.
