(d.1652) explores the nature, causes, and treatment of spiritual

leaving the Christian to walk alone in a "dark night of the soul."

precision, a philosopher's insight, and the Word of God's wisdom on
how to gain a firmer footing and emerge from this melancholy hour
with renewed strength and vivacity.
