This is the white martyrdom to man, when he separates for sake of
God from everything he loves, although he suffer fasting or labour thereat.
This is the green martyrdom to him, when by means of them (fasting
and labour) he separates from his desires, or suffers toil in penance and
repentance.
This is the red martyrdom to him, endurance of a cross or destruction
for Christ's sake, as has happened to the apostles in the persecution of
the wicked and in teaching the law of God*.
These three kinds of martyrdom are comprised in the carnal ones who f. 38 b
resort to good repentance, who separate from their desires, who pour
40 forth their blood in fasting and in labour for Christ's sake.
Now there are three kinds of martyrdom which are precious in God's
eyes, for which we obtain rewards if we fulfil them, castitas in iuuentute,
continentia in abundantia.
