Answer

You too much imitate the way of the world in this complaint. Worldly people know no way to repair the loss of one comfort but by another of the same nature to fill its place and the vacancy it leaves. But have you no other way to supply your loss? Have you not a God to fill the place of any creature that leaves you? Surely this complaint would better become a man whose portion is in this life, than one who professes that God is his all in all.
