Books has testimonies of this thing, when it is said to God, My Patience are You, and, From Him is my patience; and where another prophet says, that we receive the spirit of fortitude; but also in the Apostolic writings we read, Because unto you is given on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in Him, but to suffer for Him. Therefore let not that make the mind to be as of its own merit uplifted, wherewith he is told that he is of Another's mercy gifted.
