Comfort the feeble minded, and those that be heavy in hart: which suffer imprisonment, and live in poverty, and are grieved and cannot help themselves. Say unto them, as Saint 1James, Blessed is the man, that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised them that love him. Say unto them, as Saint 2Peter: this is thank wo•hie, if a man for conscience toward god endure grief, suffering wrongfully. Comfort them with the words of the 3Prophet, They that sow in tears, shall reap in joy. Comfort them with the words of 4Christ, Blessed are ye which weep now, for ye shall laugh.
