James, the Brother of our Lord, who was Bishop of Jerusalem; called, for his holiness, James the just, had Knees like Camels Knees by praying; being by the Jews set upon the Pinnacle of the Temple to give testimony concerning (as they expected against) Jesus, he declared Jesus to be the Christ: whereupon the Jews threw him down, and he not being dead, they came to stone him; who turned on his Knees and prayed, saying, O Lord God, Father, I beseech thee forgive them, for they know not what they do: Yet they stoned him, and at last, with a Fullers Instrument, struck him on the Head, and he dyed. Vol. 1. p. 43, 44.

The young Man now having his liberty, through the corruptness of his Companions, became dissolute, a Thief, and a Murderer, yea, the Captain of them: and S. John being sent for again into those Parts, demanded of the Bishop, the charge committed to him; who said, he was dead to God, and become an evil Man, a Thief frequenting this Mountain: Whereat S. John rent his Clothes, and said, I have left a good Keeper of my Brother's Soul: ⟨p. 98⟩
