Hence observe,
Great sorrows distract the mind, and bring a man to his wits end.
Great sorrows distract the minde, and bring a man to his wits end.
While we suffer much, we scarce know what to do. Trouble upon the sensitive part, troubles the understanding. Confusion upon our estates, makes a confusion in our minds; It is very hard to keep our spirits in order, while our houses and business are out of order: every affliction makes some confusion without us; and it is exceeding rare if affliction make not much confusion within us. I (saith Job) am full of confusion.
