His afflictions, so far as is recorded, were not many,1 indeed none but what was common with his other Brethren, except we ⟨p. 144⟩may count that a cross, that he was suffered to sin so far, and doubtless it was a corrosive to him all his days after, and that his fore-mentioned grief, as it was in some sense an act of virtue, so it was a suffering of evil. For to be grieved for some misery like to befall our friends is a great misery to him that so grieveth.
