CCEL Footnote 3480 (In-Text, Margin)

... martyrs? Did I not pass by the royal palace both in going and returning? Yet no one laid hands on me, though they had the intention of driving me out, as they afterwards gave out, saying, Leave the city, and go where you will. I was, I own, looking for some great thing, either sword or fire for the Name of Christ, yet they offered me pleasant things instead of sufferings; but Christ’s athlete needs not pleasant things but sufferings. Let no one, then, disturb you, because they have provided a carriage,[Psalms 7:7] or because hard words, as he thinks them, have been uttered by Auxentius, who calls himself bishop.
