Such a man gets greater favours than the world is able to bestow upon
him: he hath God for his friend; he hath all the Angels for his friends.
In all dangers and necessities these protect and relieve him; so that he
need fear no manner of evil; no creature can hurt him. God is his
helper, and that is sufficient. Also God is his blessing in everything.
And though sometimes it may seem as if God would not bless him, yet is
this but for a trial to him, and for the attraction of the Divine Love,
to the end he may more fervently pray to God, and commit all his ways
unto him.
