Jeremiah45:3

Ver. 3. Thou didſt ſay] i. e. Thou didſt think, like a poor puſillanimous creature as thou art. But Jeremy could pitty him in this infirmity, becauſe it had ſometime been his own caſe, chap. 15. and may befal the beſt. Pray for me, I ſay pray for me, ſaid Father Latimer; for ſometimes I am ſo fearfull and fainthearted, that I could even run into a mouſe-hole.

For the Lord hath added grief to my ſorrow] So we do oft complain, non quia dura ſed quia moll[illegible: 1 letter]s patimur, without cauſe, through feeble-mindedneſſe. And when we ſpeak of our croſſes, we are eloquent oft beyond truth: we add, we multiply, we riſe in our diſcourſe, as here.
