less_o your_o pain_n be_v for_o as_o a_o light_a burden_n bear_v at_o the_o arm_n end_n weigh_v hevy_a by_o much_o than_o a_o burden_n of_o treble_a weight_n if_o it_o be_v bear_v upon_o the_o shoulder_n which_o be_v make_v to_o bear_v so_o if_o a_o man_n set_v impatience_n to_o bear_v his_o cross_n which_o be_v not_o fit_a to_o bear_v it_o will_v grumble_v and_o murmur_n and_o start_v and_o shrink_v and_o let_v the_o burden_n fall_v upon_o his_o head_n like_o a_o break_a staff_n which_o promise_v to_o help_v he_o over_o the_o water_n and_o leave_v he_o in_o the_o ditch_n but_o if_o you_o put_v it_o to_o patience_n &_o set_v she_o to_o bear_v it_o which_o be_v appoint_v to_o bear_v she_o be_v like_o the_o hearty_a spy_n that_o come_v from_o canaan_n 2._o and_o say_v it_o be_v nothing_o to_o overcome_v they_o so_o patience_n say_v it_o be_v nothing_o to_o bear_v it_o be_v nothing_o to_o fast_v it_o be_v nothing_o to_o watch_v it_o be_v nothing_o to_o labour_n it_o be_v nothing_o to_o be_v envy_v it_o be_v nothing_o to_o be_v backbit_v it_o be_v nothing_o to_o be_v imprison_v 37._o in_o all_o these_o thing_n say_v paul_n we_o be_v more_o than_o conqueror_n as_o though_o all_o these_o thing_n come_v not_o to_o make_v we_o mourner_n but_o to_o make_v we_o conqueror_n nay_o more_o than_o conqueror_n because_o a_o conqueror_n conquer_v his_o enemy_n but_o once_o but_o we_o conquer_v these_o as_o often_o as_o christ_n do_v the_o tempter_n thus_o all_o be_v in_o the_o manner_n of_o bear_v which_o make_v persecution_n seem_v joyful_a to_o some_o and_o irksome_a to_o other_o which_o make_v poverty_n welcome_a to_o one_o and_o bitter_a to_o another_o which_o make_v he_o sing_v in_o his_o sickness_n as_o if_o he_o be_v whole_a and_o thou_o rave_v and_o whine_v &_o curse_n as_o if_o thou_o be_v not_o sick_a but_o frantic_a therefore_o christ_n yoke_n be_v call_v a_o easy_a yoke_n 11._o because_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o some_o that_o be_v to_o they_o which_o have_v skill_n to_o bear_v it_o as_o christ_n do_v bea●e_v it_o by_o his_o infinite_a patience_n he_o suffer_v infinite_a pain_n for_o infinite_a sin_n patience_n be_v like_o a_o privy_a coat_n upon_o his_o soul_n that_o when_o the_o devil_n stroke_n at_o he_o he_o be_v strike_v himself_o when_o death_n come_v to_o kill_v he_o he_o be_v kill_v himself_o and_o all_o their_o shot_n can_v not_o hurt_v he_o because_o of_o his_o preservative_n which_o he_o have_v about_o he_o 17._o like_o sampsons_n hair_n which_o save_v he_o from_o all_o his_o enemy_n if_o the_o master_n carry_v patience_n about_o he_o for_o to_o guard_v he_o through_o these_o pike_n of_o trouble_n 3._o which_o stand_v like_o the_o fiery_a sword_n between_o we_o and_o paradise_n how_o can_v the_o servant_n escape_v then_o unless_o he_o be_v arm_v as_o his_o master_n be_v for_o what_o have_v the_o poor_a man_n to_o bear_v his_o want_n what_o have_v the_o bondman_n to_o bear_v his_o grief_n what_o have_v the_o sick_a man_n to_o bear_v his_o pain_n but_o to_o lay_v all_o upon_o the_o shoulder_n of_o patience_n and_o to_o say_v with_o jeremie_n this_o be_v my_o sorrow_n 19_o and_o i_o will_v bear_v it_o as_o the_o tree_n which_o moses_n cast_v into_o the_o spring_n season_v the_o bitterness_n of_o the_o water_n 25_o so_o patience_n cast_v into_o our_o trouble_n season_v the_o bitterness_n of_o the_o cross_n and_o be_v in_o stead_n of_o a_o assistaunt_a to_o every_o man_n to_o overcome_v his_o trouble_n like_o the_o armour-bearer_n 14._o which_o help_v jonathan_n to_o vanquish_v his_o enemy_n she_o have_v a_o device_n to_o draw_v such_o a_o skin_n over_o our_o sore_n that_o shall_v make_v our_o poverty_n seem_v riches_n our_o reproach_n seem_v honour_n our_o bondage_n seem_v liberty_n our_o labour_n seem_v rest_n our_o sorrow_n seem_v joy_n our_o pain_n seem_v ease_n our_o sickness_n seem_v health_n and_o all_o that_o hurt_v we_o rejoice_v we_o until_o we_o say_v with_o david_n thy_o judgement_n be_v pleasant_a show_v that_o god_n justice_n be_v as_o pleasant_a to_o the_o patient_a as_o his_o mercy_n to_o other_o therefore_o what_o a_o peacemaker_n be_v this_o in_o the_o commonwealth_n if_o the_o magistrate_n have_v patience_n to_o bear_v his_o envy_n if_o the_o preacher_n have_v patience_n to_o bear_v his_o study_n if_o the_o creditor_n have_v patience_n to_o bear_v his_o loss_n if_o the_o bondman_n have_v patience_n to_o bear_v his_o service_n if_o the_o husbandman_n have_v patience_n to_o bear_v his_o labour_n if_o the_o sick_a man_n have_v patience_n to_o bear_v his_o pain_n if_o the_o poor_a man_n have_v patience_n to_o bear_v his_o want_n for_o want_v whereof_o many_o think_v themselves_o in_o hell_n and_o say_v that_o no_o man_n pain_n be_v like_o their_o pain_n no_o man_n want_n like_o their_o want_n no_o mansfoe_n like_o their_o foe_n no_o man_n wrong_v like_o their_o wrong_n when_o they_o can_v scarce_o tell_v where_o their_o pain_n hold_v they_o therefore_o albeit_o few_o can_v brook_v of_o humility_n and_o charity_n and_o meekness_n and_o thankfulness_n and_o temperance_n and_o those_o severe_a virtue_n which_o pull_v from_o pleasure_n yet_o every_o man_n do_v wish_v for_o patience_n like_o a_o physician_n to_o ease_v his_o grief_n by_o all_o mean_n that_o he_o can_v so_o they_o which_o be_v wicked_a although_o they_o can_v see_v the_o goodness_n of_o other_o virtue_n yet_o can_v see_v the_o goodness_n of_o patience_n and_o perceive_v when_o they_o see_v a_o patient_a man_n and_o a_o impatient_a man_n both_o sick_a of_o one_o disease_n yet_o both_o be_v not_o trouble_v alike_o but_o that_o he_o which_o have_v most_o patience_n have_v most_o ease_n and_o he_o which_o be_v most_o impatient_a be_v most_o torment_a like_o a_o fish_n which_o strive_v with_o the_o hook_n therefore_o even_o those_o which_o can_v suffer_v that_o they_o may_v have_v rest_n yet_o sing_v the_o patien_n proverb_n in_o sufferance_n be_v rest_n this_o be_v a_o lesson_n which_o i_o know_v you_o will_v glad_o learn_v even_o as_o pharaoh_n long_v to_o know_v his_o dream_n 15._o though_o you_o care_v not_o for_o virtue_n as_o the_o cruel_a judge_n care_v not_o for_o charity_n yet_o if_o you_o can_v gain_v such_o a_o bargain_n by_o any_o virtue_n to_o ease_v you_o of_o your_o pain_n it_o will_v make_v you_o look_v unto_o virtue_n as_o pharaoh_n use_v moses_n 28._o but_o to_o remove_v the_o plague_n this_o power_n god_n have_v give_v to_o patience_n the_o medicinable_a virtue_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v like_o a_o wholesome_a herb_n in_o the_o world_n or_o a_o general_a physician_n for_o all_o person_n and_o all_o disease_n therefore_o when_o the_o angel_n have_v record_v all_o the_o trouble_n which_o shall_v come_v in_o the_o latter_a day_n at_o last_o he_o conclude_v here_o be_v the_o patience_n of_o saint_n 10._o as_o though_o patience_n shall_v bear_v all_o therefore_o so_o many_o scripture_n go_v like_o preacher_n about_o the_o bible_n to_o exhort_v unto_o patience_n like_o a_o beacon_n which_o be_v set_v up_o to_o call_v man_n together_o show_v we_o that_o by_o patience_n we_o possess_v our_o soul_n 8._o as_o though_o a_o man_n without_o patience_n have_v no_o rule_n of_o himself_o that_o a_o man_n wisdom_n be_v know_v by_o his_o patience_n 9_o as_o though_o that_o he_o which_o be_v not_o patient_a can_v be_v wise_a that_o by_o patience_n we_o receive_v the_o promise_n 10._o though_o the_o promise_n do_v not_o belong_v unto_o we_o unless_o we_o have_v patience_n 4._o that_o patience_n breed_v experience_n and_o experience_n hope_v as_o though_o he_o which_o want_v patience_n have_v no_o experience_n of_o god_n to_o know_v the_o scope_n of_o his_o do_n nor_o any_o hope_n to_o comfort_v he_o about_o the_o life_n to_o come_v 8._o beside_o many_o reason_n more_o that_o the_o affliction_n of_o this_o world_n be_v not_o worthy_a of_o the_o joy_n that_o succeed_v they_o that_o all_o thing_n even_o our_o affliction_n turn_v to_o the_o best_a if_o we_o love_v god_n 5._o that_o they_o be_v bless_v which_o weep_v here_o because_o they_o shall_v laugh_v hereafter_o 2._o that_o if_o we_o suffer_v with_o christ_n we_o shall_v reign_v with_o christ_n that_o the_o lord_n do_v love_v those_o who_o he_o chasten_v 3._o that_o by_o suffer_v we_o be_v make_v like_o the_o son_n of_o god_n who_o life_n be_v a_o persecution_n as_o though_o the_o holy_a ghost_n by_o often_o call_v upon_o we_o like_o the_o importunate_a woman_n will_v compel_v we_o to_o be_v patient_a 18._o whether_o our_o flesh_n will_v or_o no._n beside_o these_o honourable_a praise_n of_o patience_n the_o prophet_n evangelist_n and_o apostle_n have_v a_o set_a number_n of_o example_n before_o our_o eye_n like_o banner_n of_o such_o
