The heart of a Godly man, even of the most Godly, may be so weakened under long continued sufferings, that he may find himself utterly unable to bear them any longer.

The heart of a Godly man, even of the most Godly, may be so weakened under long continued sufferings, that he may finde himselfe utterly unable to beare them any longer.

:1512p. 459–460

Wicked men labour to strengthen and harden themselves all they can, to bear, in opposition to God, and Saints would strengthen and harden themselves all they can to bear in submission to God. Pharaoh hardened his heart to oppose God striking him; he had stroke after stroke, and Judgement after Judgement, yet he would not yield; but at last God made his heart soft in one sense, though he hardened it in another. God appeared at last too hard for Pharaoh, he could hold out no longer. And we find the Lord speaking thus by Ezekiel to his people, who (it seems by the language which God useth concerning them) had, ⟨p. 460⟩as it were, set themselves with unholy resolutions to stand or rather stout it out with God, and bear the worst that he could do unto them; But (saith the Lord, Ezek. 22.14.) can thine heart endure? or can thine hands be strong in the day that I shall deal with thee?

It is said of Christ by David his type (
