“His perplexities are such as he cannot believe any living soul is exercised with; the fiery darts which are cast into his mind by the Wicked One are such as he thinks no child of God has ever experienced; the darkness of his soul, the unbelief and infidelity of his heart, and the workings of his powerful corruptions, are such as he supposes none ever knew but himself.  It is this walking “in a solitary way,’  that makes the path of trial and temptation so painful to God’s family.”  J.C. Philpot  (1802-1869)
