In the time of his sickness and weakness he gave heavenly and wholesome counsel to his people, neighbours and friends that came to visit him: giving particular advise to his wife, children and servants respectively according to their place and condition as they oft came about him, thus he did oft so long as he was able to speak unto them.

His Christian speeches that concerned all, tended to this, that they would be careful to redeem the time, and to be much in reading, hearing and meditating of the Word of God. That they would be much in Prayer, much in brotherly love and communion of the Saints. And that they would be careful to hold fast that which he had taught them out of the Word of Truth. And that while the light and means of Salvation was to be had, they should not spare pains nor cost to enjoy them. He was oft in his sickness upon the painful rack or torture of inward snatchings and convulsions, which sometimes left him, but (three or four days before his death) they returned and increased upon him; all which he bare exceeding patiently. He was much in ejaculations and short prayers and lifting up his heart to God in the behalf of the Church and State, and for himself also, which he was most frequent and earnest in, a little before his death. In the time when a brother of his (not only in the common bonds of Christianity, but also by alliance, and a brother in the Ministry) was praying with him and for him to this effect, that if his time was not determined or expired that God would be pleased to restore him for the good of his Church, or if otherwise that he would put an end to his pain if he saw good; at the hearing thereof he lift up his eyes steadfastly towards Heaven and also one of his hands (he being not able to lift ⟨image 12⟩up the other) and in the close of that prayer gave up the ghost, shutting down his eyes himself, as if he were fallen into a sweet sleep. He lived much desired and died much lamented.
