Patience; moderation; a bearing with patience. But hasty heat temp'ring with sufferance wise.2. Toleration; permission; allowance; negative consent by not forbidding or hindering. In process of time, sometimes by sufferance, sometimes by special leave and favor, they erected to themselves oratories.
