Feaver.
The pulses spur.Within the deserts of Arabia, nor in the entrails of the sea, was there ever so furious a monster found, and if Tyrants, whose me∣mory is hateful to us, had been stored with such instruments for ef∣fecting their cruelties, surely the martyrs had endured a feaver for religion, and not that outward fire, nor bitings of wild beasts. At every sting it ca••ries a poor sick person to the borders of the o∣ther world, and causeth him sensibly to touch the extremities of life. To support it long, a greater remedy than pa••ience is no lesse than requilite, and other forces than those of man. Enough to make a man pity him four hundred leagues off, yet he is so valiant, he would not fly though pursued by an army, and so stately, he would not rise from his bed to salute a King. If God had conferred a king∣dome upon him, with condition never to sleep more than he doth, he would prove the most vigilant prince living, not would need ei∣ther guards or sentinels about his person.
