sicknesse, not according to the |
short moment and violent passions |
of Her Death; but according to the |
holy Actions of Her Health, the |
former Affections of Her Heart, and |
the Generall Course of Her Life[q]; | [Note q: M^r. _Greenham_. 1. Treat.

by reason of the parching Feauer of |
the Spirit, as well as of the Body, |
was disquieted in her Imagination |
(as the Physitian of the body could |
discerne) though not in her Memory. |
Consider therefore O Man (as that |
excellent Physitian of the Soule |
aduiseth thee[r]) if thou canst | [Note r: _Id. Of Death, fol. 9.

must much more beare with a fraile |
Minde and Body too. Consider also O |
Man, that this her Pettishnesse did |
more wound her to the heart, than |
any iniury thou couldst presse her |
with. Neither doe I speake this to |
nourish passion in any, or to proue |
her Anger to be Sinlesse[s]; but to | [Note s: _Vitemus ergo aut

Faith quenched the flame of this |
fiery passion in Christs Bloud, |
resolued and melted her heart into |
many penitent Teares afterwards. | [Note: _Repentance for the same._]
Oh, said she to me, (pressing her |
with _Dauids_ example, _Psal. |
131._) In my Health I could digest |
any iniury, and deemed it base and |
vngodly, not to be able to doe so; |
but now (I know not how) me thinkes |
I am ouer-tender in bearing them. I |
am impatient indeed, and then I |
weepe for my impatiencie. For I |
know (as she her selfe vrged) _The |
wrath of Man doth not accomplish | [Note t: _Iam. 1. 20. Psalm. 4.
