And lastly, §5Never speak with your difficulties or discouragements apart from the promise. If a man be travailing in the rode, and a thief can sunder him from his company, draw him alone into the woods, a hundred to one but he takes his purse, if he save his life. And if the Devil can part you ⟨p. 213⟩from the promise, take you into the woods, where you shall see nothing but darkness, difficulties, and discouragements; a hundred to one but he spoils you of all your comforts: (man or woman,) does difficulty arise therefore? natural discouragement arise? Away to the promise, and say unto them when they come, I will never speak with you, unless it be in the presence of a promise.
