QUestion, 7. What is the nature of patience?
1 Ans. Christian patience hath reference to a threefold object. 1. To God, according to whose pleasure all adverse things, are ordered. Job. 1. 20. & 2. 9. 10. In which respect, murmuring against God is opposed to patience, 1 Cor. 10. 10. 2 To men, or those means which do directly afflict us. 2 Thess. 1. 4. with 6. 1 Pet. 2. 2•. & 3. 9. In which respect desire of revenge is opposed to patience. Rom. 12. 17. 19. 3 To that office, or duty, which by the molestations of ad▪ advesity, we are tempted to forsake.
