When thou art diseased with any sorrow or malady: then think how small that pain is if thou shouldest compare it with Christs crown of thorn and the nails which pierced his tender flesh.
When thou art dyseased with anye sorow or maladye: then thynke how smalle that payne is yf thou shuldest comparte it with Christes croune of thorne ād the nayles which perced his tendre flesh.
When thou art constrained to do or leave undone any thing which thou wouldest not: then remember that Christ was bound and tossed from post to pillar even as it pleased his cruel enemies.

If thou be tempted with pride & lordliness: then mark how unworthily Christ was mocked / ye and crucified between two thieves / that he might be reputed as one of their number.
