Equivalent to ut non (A&G 559)

Later writers tend to us quamquam with the subjunctive (A&G 527 e)

This is part of a series of letters to Aurelius, following Sulpicius learning of Martin's death. This is the reason for his falling and weeping, and it prompts him to talk at great length about how great Martin is, and to prove his point, he makes several biblical references, mainly how he believes Martin would have behaved had he been permitted to have lived in a world and a time that would have warranted such situations

Isaiah is believed to have been chased (literally persecuted) and eventually took refuge in a tree, whereupon he was immediately found and was cut up.

Reference to Daniel 3, in which three Hebrew men are thrown into a furnace as punishment for disobeying the king, Nebuchadnezzar, but are protected by God for their piety and obedience to the Lord.

esse omitted

Henceforth, most of the verbs are pluperfect subjunctive, denoting conditional statements that would have happened (A&G 511)

Possibly a reference to Revelation 7:14, which speaks of people who, having experienced great tribulation, made their robes white (likely meaning washed away their sins) by washing them in the blood of the Lamb (meaning Jesus). More can be read about chapter 7 here

I fell, I admit, and wept arisen tears, most productive (brother). For why should my tears not flow, even as I write these things to you, brother, and I do not allow any solace for this most unbearable anguish. But, when this was announced to me, I wanted you to be a participant of my sorry, you who were an ally/sharer of/in my love (of Martin). [7] Therefore, come to me, so that we might equally grieve him whom we equally love, although I know that he is not a man who should be grieved, to whom, after the world was conquered and this aged was triumphed over (by him), a crown of justice was given. But now, however, I am not able to order myself to not grieve. [8] I have sent forth a certain patron, but lost a comfort of this present life, yet if anguish would admit any reason, I must rejoice.

For he is joined with the apostles and prophets, and, as I said in the peace of all the holies, specifically in that group of the just, (he is) second to none; as I hope, believe, and am sure, he is, above all, joined to those who washed their robes in the blood, he follows the sacrificial lamb as (his) leader, whole/undamaged from fault. [9] For the manner of (our) time does not allow him (permits it to him that he was not able) to bestow a martyrdom, nevertheless the glory of a martyr will not be lacking, because, by his dedication and will, he was both able and willing to be a martyr. But if it had been permitted to him to fight in that conflict in the times of Nero and Decius (lit. in the Neronian and Decian times), which then existed, I take witness God of Heaven and Earth, he would have freely climbed the torture rack, and of his own accord thrown himself on the flames, and necessary of being equaled (i.e. equal) to the Hebrew boys, among the balls of flame, in the middle of the furnace, he would have sang a hymn of the Lord. [10] But if that punishment of Isaiah (lit. Isaian punishment) had by chance been pleasing to the persecutor, he, never having been shown unequal to the prophet, never would have feared his limbs to be severed by saws and thin blades. And if impious rage had greatly wished to drive that lucky man to steep cliffs and broken mountains, I assert the testimony, confident in the truth, he would have willingly fallen.
