Trouble with a tangent series expansion

Okay, so I am supposed to expand ln(cos(x)) basing my calculations on tan(x) = x + (1/3)x^3 + (2/15)x^5 + (17/315)x^7 + ... and expanding out to that fourth term is sufficient. I am having a major brain meltdown, I can't seem to find any equivalencies present, and I'm sure there are. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Checking what the derivative of the ln(cos(x)) is, should make it evident what is happening.
