Fourthly, Every one needeth comfort from others in trouble, Because 1the Devil is then most forward and busy; He is ready to accuse God to thee, and to accuse thee to God; He moveth in job's wife, that he should curse God and die. He is the Prince of darkness; and a roaring Lion, seeking whom he may devour; and those that are afflicted they are almost in his jaws: The room is almost ready swept and garnished for him: How many in their troubles hath he prevailed upon to despair, to self-murder, to destroy themselves? Thus he is watching at his advantage, to provoke thee in thy troubles, to impatience, to discontent, and from these to rage and fretting against God, and from these to final despair: Shall then the Devil be thus busy to assault a poor soul? and wilt thou not be as diligent to recover him?
