Come then all ye that fear the Lord, come and I well tell you what he hath done for my Soul. O help me to love that precious Name of his, which is above all my Praises. O love the Lord all ye his Saints, and fear before him! magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his Name together! he hath remembered my low estate, because his Mercy endureth for ever. O blessed be you of the Lord, my dearly Beloved, ⟨p. 98⟩O thrice blessed may you be for all your remembrances of me before the Lord, you have wrestled with the Lord for me, you have wrestled me out of the very Jaws of Death it self: O the strength of Prayer! Surely it is stronger than death. See that you even honour the power and Prevalent of Prayer: Oh be in love with Prayer, and have high and venerable thoughts of it. What distresses, diseases. Deaths can stand before it? Surely I live by Prayer, Prayer hath given a Resurrection •o this Body of mine, when Physicians, and friends had given up their hopes.
