XXIII. Either thou dost Continue in this kind of life and that is it,

which so long thou hast been used unto and therefore tolerable:

or thou doest retire, or leave the world, and that of thine

own accord, and then thou hast thy mind: or thy life is cut off;

and then mayst. thou rejoice that thou hast ended thy charge.

One of these must needs be. Be therefore of good comfort.
