engrieve

engrieve
To cause grief to, to vex or pain; to associate with vexation or pain.

If any man had either fondly or indiscreetly spoken of Lent to engrieve it to be an importable burden, I would wish his reformation ; for I have not learned that all men are bound to keep the Lent in the form received.
