on patients Lighthouse Church Fathers written by ST Augustine, Narrated by William Bruce McFadden, Chapter one.

So although in God, there can be no suffering and patients half its name Appetit Endo from suffering yet a patient God, we not only faithfully believe but also wholesome Lee confess, but the patience of God, of what kind and how great it is his whom we say to be impassable yet not impatient, Nay, even most patient, inwards to unfold. This who can be able ineffable is therefore that patience, as is his jealousy as his wrath and whatever there is like to these, for if we conceive of these as they be in us in him, are there none? We namely, can feel none of these without molestation. But be it far from us to surmise that the impassable nature of God is liable to any molestation. But like as he is jealous without any darkening of spirit. Roth, without any perturbation pitiful without any pain, repented him without any wrongness in him to be set right? So is he patient without ought of passion? Now, therefore, as concerning human patients, which we are able to conceive and beholden to have of what sort it is I will, as God granted and the brevity of the present discourse allowed a say to set forth.
