1 HE said unto one troubled in mind, that we should not much be troubled in light things, but that rather in griefs we should make known our hearts unto God,1 than devour them privately: for if in carnal sorrows we find some ease when we make things known to our faithful and loving friends, as to our parents, or to our brethren, much more are we to think it an ease to our spiritual griefs, if we pour forth our griefs into the bosom of the Lord, who is most faithful to conceal, most loving to take pity, and most able to help us in all our griefs whatsoever.
