Verse. 14. The spirit of a man will beare out his infirmities, but a wounded conscience who can beare?
The spirit of a man] his heart being in a comfortable estate by the sight of Gods favour, and the testimony of a good conscience, will bear out his infirmities, maketh him to sustain with patience, and some cheerfulness, manifold pains and diseases of the body, and all outward crosses whatsoever: but a wounded spirit who can bear? but when the soul is cast down, and as it were broken with the apprehension of Gods indignation, none can endure the horror and anguish thereof, nor any thing raise it up, and give comfort to it, but God alone.
