And what is our Saviour Christs whole course, but to free men from 1suspicion of want of love? did he ever turn any back from him, but those that went away of themselves? did he not shed tears for those that shed his blood? so merciful, and gracious was he. If so be that holy men of all times have laboured to clear themselves to others.

We ought not to rage against the ill dispositions of men. If we were as good as God, and as Christ, men would have false suspicions of us. It is no innocency in the world that will free a man from suspicion: the wicked, poysonful disposition that the Devil stirs up against him. Therefore rage not against it, but bear it with a spirit of moderation.
