Chapter XIV: Miles Halhead and the Haughty Lady

_'Many a notable occurrence Miles
Halhead had in his life.... But
his going thus often from home was
a great cross to his wife, who in
the first year of his change, not
being of his persuasion, was often
much troubled in her mind, and
would often say from discontent,
"Would to God I had married a
drunkard, then I might have found
him at the alehouse; but now I
cannot tell where to find my
husband."'--SEWEL._

_To Friends--To take care of such
as suffer for owning the Truth._

_'And that if any friends be
oppressed any manner of way, others
may take care to help them: and
that all may be as one family,
building up one another and helping
one another.'_

_'And, friends, go not into the
aggravating part to strive with
it, lest you do hurt to your
souls, and run into the same
nature; for PATIENCE MUST GET THE
VICTORY, and it answers to that of
God in everyone and will bring
everyone from the contrary. So let
your temperance and moderation and
patience be known to all.'--GEORGE
FOX._

_'Non tristabit justum quidquid si
accederit.'_

man it shall not heavy
him.'--RICHARD ROLLE. 1349._
