But perhaps it may not be so hard as at first it appeareth to be; make
but the trial and be in earnest. What is there required of thee but to
stand still and see the salvation of thy God? And couldst thou desire
anything less? Where is the hardship in this? Thou hast nothing to care
for, nothing to desire in this life, nothing to imagine or attract. Thou
needest only cast thy care upon God, who careth for thee, and leave him
to dispose of thee according to his good will and pleasure, even as if
thou hadst no will at all in thee. For he knoweth what is best; and if
thou canst but trust him, he will most certainly do better for thee,
than if thou wert left to thine own choice.
