Fourthly, The Lord is very patient; First, patient to hear; and secondly, patient to bear. Patience to hear is a great encouragement; many Judges are weary of the work, they will not hear a poor man out, but God will; and God is patient also to bear with and pass by the failings of his people, whose uprightness he knows.
