In the .14. of Exodus the Lord speaketh unto Moses at the red sea, saying: Why criest thou unto me? Yet Moses cried not,1 but trembled and almost despaired, for he was in great trouble. It seemed that infidelity reigned in him, and not Faith. For he saw the people of Israel so compassed and enclosed with the Egyptians host and with the sea, that there was no way whereby they might escape. Here Moses durst not once open his mouth. How then did he cry? We must not judge therefore according to the feeling of our own heart,2 but according to the word of God, which teacheth us that the holy Ghost is given to those that are afflicted, terrified, & ready to despair, to raise them up & to comfort them, that they be not overcome in their tentations & afflictions, but may overcome them, and yet not without great terrors and troubles.
