Chapter 5 seven stages

Seven times has my heart grieved: the first time when it was trying to rise through the mean way; the second time it was walking before the paralyzed; the fourth time when it errs and comforts itself with the mistakes of others; the fifth time when it suffers weakly and calls this patience strong; the sixth time when When it curled up its tail in the face of the quagmire of life and surrendered; the seventh time when it stood before God and sang hymns, thinking it was one of its virtues.
