In Guyon, we encounter a figure who embodies balance, moderation, and discipline. His mission is not one of conquest or brute force, but of control over passions and excesses. Spenser reminds us: “The patient man much more doth suffer, than He that much suffers: for he may endure Why, every man for his owne cause will fight; But he his foes charmes with a constant minde most sure.” (II.i.19)
