I pass over, too, that difficult and sublime sort of self-control,
through which it is considered the greatest luxury if the plant called
cherlock, prepared with salt and steeped in water, is set on the table
for the repast of the brethren; and many other things like this, which in
this country neither the climate nor the weakness of our constitution would
permit. And I shall only follow up those matters which cannot be interfered
with by any weakness of the flesh or local situation, if only no weakness
of mind or coldness of spirit gets rid of them.
