forbearance

"In short, they have no refuge, nothing to take hold of; all that preserves them every moment is the mere arbitrary will, uncovenanted, unobliged forbearance of an incensed God."
P.47 Elements of Literature

Forbearance is having tolerance or restraint.

    Although I agree with Wheatley it can also mean: forbearing conduct or quality; patient endurance; self-control.
