Luke 21:7-28 And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass?… Now the feelings unavoidably disagreeable to us, and tempting us to impatience, are chiefly pain, sorrow, fear, and anger. 1. Pain: under which may be comprehended also sickness, restlessness, and languid lowness. 2. The next source of impatience before mentioned is sorrow: which sometimes is mere sympathy with the calamities of others. 3. The next cause of impatience, mentioned before was fear. 4. The last trial of our patience, of which I proposed to speak, is anger. (T. Secker.)
