Book Two, Chapter 3
Of the Good Peaceable Man
He that is in perfect peace suspects no man. But he that is discontented and disturbed is agitated by various suspicions; he has neither rest himself, nor suffers others to rest.....to be able to live peacefully with the hard and the perverse, or with the undisciplined and those who contradict us, is a great grace, and a highly commendable and manly thing....Such a one is conqueror of himself and lord of the world, the friend of Christ and an heir of heaven.
