Of a Companion of Brother Iuniperus, and that was vnder his gouernement.

THE XLIV. CHAPTER.

BRother Iuniperus in his age had a companion, that was so obedient and of such patience, that were he beaten and tor∣mented a whole day together, he would neuer vtter a word of complaint. He was sent to begge att their houses who were kno∣wne not to be charitable, but to be churlish, scoffers, and iniuri∣ous to the Religious, whither he would willingly goe, and with an admirable patience support the affrontes and iniuries offered vn∣to him. If Brother Iuniperus commanded him to weep, he would obey: if he commanded him to laugh, he would incontinently laugh. He being dead, Brother Iuniperus bitterly wept for this his deere companion, affirming that in this life there remayned vnto him no∣thing of worth, and that in the death of this Brother the world was as it were ruined, so much did he loue and esteeme the vertue of the patience and mortification of this great seruant of God, and his foster child.
