worse, and at last cares not to retain I will not say the virtue but even
the shadow of humility, charity, and obedience; and is displeased with
everything, and murmurs and groans over every work; and now i having cast

unbridled: and discontented with his daily food and usual clothing,
announces that he wall not put up with it any longer. He declares that God
is not only there, and that his salvation is not confined to that place,
where, if he does not take himself off pretty quickly from it, he deeply
laments that he will soon die.
