loves those best who agree with him. But to be able to live peaceably with hard, and perverse, or undisciplined persons, is a great grace, and an exceedingly commendable and manly deed.
Some there are who keep themselves in peace, and are in peace also with others. And there are some who neither are in peace themselves, nor leave others in peace. They are troublesome to others, but always more troublesome to themselves. And there are some who keep themselves in peace, and study to bring others to peace.
Nevertheless, our whole peace in this miserable life consists rather in humble sufferance than in not feeling adversities. Whosoever knows best how to suffer will keep the greatest peace. That man is conqueror of himself, and lord of the world, the friend of Christ, and heir of Heaven. •
