Here I must (before I come to make use of it) distinguish between the crosses, 1and sufferings of Christ, and of ordinary sufferings as men. Something in this vale of misery we suffer as creatures; as being subject to mutability and change, because this is a world of changes. In this sublunary world 2there is nothing but changes, thus we suffer as creatures, all creatures are subject to vanity, and complain, and groan under it. Somewhat we suffer as men, it is the common condition of men, this nature of ours since 3the fall is subject to sicknesses, to crosses, and pain, and casualties, every day brings new crosses with it, this we suffer as men.
