In the time of his sickness there1 came many to visit him, but he admitted none but his intimate friends, using a ⟨image 24⟩speech of *Saint Augustine, who desired ten days before he died, none might come to him, that he in that time might the better fit himself for GOD. But to those that came to him he gave very godly and wise exhortations suiting to their callings and conditions, for although his body was wasted with continual fits towards the Close of his life, yet his understanding and memory was as active and quick as in the time of his health. He encouraged the Ministers that came to him, to be diligent and courageous in the work of the LORD, and not to let their spirits faint or droop for any affliction that should arise thereupon. To all that came to him, he bad them make sure of CHRIST, before they came to die, and to look upon the world as a lump of vanity; He thanked GOD for his wonderful mercy to him in pulling him out of hell in sealing his Ministry with the conversion of many souls, which he wholly ascribed to his glory.
