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.'_

_'Whatever happens to the righteous

man it shall not heavy

him.'--RICHARD ROLLE. 1349._
