the care you ought to have of your
reputation, nor the love you owe to
peace, meekness of heart, and hu-
mility.
Complain as little as possible of
the wrongs done you; for commonly
speaking, he who complains, sins.
because self-love always makes us
believe the in juries done to us great
er than they really are. But above
all do not make complaints to per-
sons who are easily angered or apt
to think evil; but If complaints be
necessary, either to remedy the Of
fense, or to restore quiet to your
mind, let them be made to the meek;
otherwise instead of easing yonr
heart, they will provoke it to great
er pain; for instead of pulling out
the thorn which pricks you, they
will thrust it further into your foot.
Many, when sick, afflicted or
injured by others, refrain from
complaining, or showing a sensibil-
ity of that they suffer, because that,
as they think-and they are rlgh! in
thinking so-would show plainly a
want of fortitude and ncbleness; but
they greatly desire, and try to bring
it about by various articles, that
every one should complain for them
and have great commiseration for
them, and admire their patience and
fortltude. Now this is a patience,
but not true patience, rather, it is a
refined ambition and subtle vanity.
The truly patient man neither com
plains himself, nor desires to be
pitied by others; lie speaks of his
snfferings with truth and sincerity,
without murmuring, complaining or
aggravating the matter; he patiently
permits himself to be consoled by
others, unless they PITY him for an
evil which he has not; for then he
will modestly declare he has rot
that evil; and thus he continues
peaceable between truth and patience.
keeping his trouble to himself and
not complaining of it.
In sickness offer up all your griefs.
and pains, and languors as sacri-
fee to our Lord, and beseech Him to
unite them with the torments He
suffered for you. Obey your ply
siclan; take your medicine, food, and
other remedies, for the love of God;
remembering the gall He took for
the love of you; desire to be cured
that you may serve Him. but refuse
not to continue sick that you may
obey Him; and dispose yourself to
die, if it be His pleasure. that you
may praise and enjoy Him for ever.
Remember, like bees whilst max
ing their honey, live upon bitter
food, so we can never perform acts
of greater sweetness, nor better
compose the honey of excellent
virtues, than whilst we eat the
bread of bitterness, and live in the
midst of Affections. And as the
honey that is gathered from the
flowers of thyme, small bitter
herb, is the best of all honey. So the
virtue which is exercised in the
bitterness of the meanest and most
abject tribulations is the most ex-l
cellent of all virtues.
Consider the torments which the
martyrs of old have suffered, and
those which SO many persons now
endure, more grievous beyond COM
parison than yours. and then say:
Alas! are not my sufferings consola-
tions. and my pains pleasures, in
comparison to those who, without
any relief, assistance, or mitigation,
live in a continual death, over
whelmed with Affections infinitely
greater than mine."
