And now as Christ once said to his Disciples, NONLATINALPHABET, where is your faith? let me say to you, where is your patience? We are all Philosophers till we come to dispute, and Souldiers till we are ingaged to sight, and Christians till we are called to endure; but alas are we not then like bad stuff, that shrinketh in the wetting? do we not like froward children, cry when we are crossed? like woodden vessels, we break if we come near the fire; and like earthen pots, we crack, nay fall in pieces, when we are dashed against the stones; if we endure for a while, yet are we not soon weary? if our first onset be (as it is said of French men) more then manly, is not our second less then womanly? so soon are we out of heart. Finally, Is our patience founded upon divine principles? are we acted by spirituall enducements in all our sufferings? Oh let us learn to shew our selves Christians, by our readines to endure; and let our enduring be such as is truly Christian. |
And now as christ once said to his Disciples,, where is your faith? let me say to you, where is your patience? We Are all Philosophers till we come to dispute, and Soldiers till we Are engaged to sighed, and Christians till we Are called to endure; but alas Are we not then like bad stuff, that shrinketh in the wetting? do we not like froward children, cry when we Are crossed? like wooden vessels, we break if we come near the fire; and like earthen pots, we Crac, nay fallen in Pieces, when we Are dashed against the stones; if we endure for a while, yet Are we not soon weary? if our First onset be (as it is said of French men) more then manly, is not our second less then womanly? so soon Are we out of heart. Finally, Is our patience founded upon divine principles? Are we acted by spiritual inducements in all our sufferings? O let us Learn to show our selves Christians, by our readiness to endure; and let our enduring be such as is truly Christian. |
