1Now of their crosses, they both were imprisoned, and sure imprisonment is a cross. To be limited to one chamber, to be denied the common benefits that brute creatures enjoy, drawing in the fresh air, and a free beholding of Heaven and Earth, to want the benefit of ones friends company, and be so restrained, that neither he can go to them ⟨p. 175⟩nor they can come to him, to have one wall, one chimney,2 one window for his prospect, and either none or but a few and those disconsolate persons as himself to talk withal, this is a cross I say so tedious, as none can judge of it but by experience, yet many persons both of high place and of great virtues have suffered it.
