CXIV.

Patience. Patientia.

[Illustration]

_Patience_, 1. endureth _Calamities_, 2. and _Wrongs_, 3. meekly like a _Lamb_, 4. as the Fatherly _chastisement of God_, 5. _Patientia_, 1. tolerat _Calamitates_, 2. & _Injurias_, 3. humiliter ut _Agnus_, 4. tanquam paternam _ferulam Dei_, 5.

In the meanwhile she leaneth upon the _Anchor of Hope_, 6. (as a _Ship_, 7. tossed by waves in the Sea) Interim innititur _Spei Anchoræ_, 6. (ut _Navis_, 7. fluctuans mari) _she prayeth to God_, 8. weeping, and expecteth the _Sun_, 10. after _cloudy weather_, 9. suffering evils, and hoping better things. _Deo supplicat_, 8. illacrymando, & expectat _Phœbum_, 10. post _Nubila_, 9. ferens mala, sperans meliora.

On the contrary, the _impatient person_, 11. waileth, lamenteth, _rageth against himself_, 12. Contra, _Impatiens_, 11. plorat, lamentatur, _debacchatur_, 12. _in seipsum_, grumbleth like a _Dog_, 13. and yet doth no good; at the last he despaireth, and becometh _his own Murtherer_, 14. obmurmurat ut _Canis_, 13. & tamen nil proficit; tandem desperat, & fit _Autochir_, 14.

Being full of rage he desireth to revenge wrongs. Furibundus cupit vindicare injurias.
