Sept. 29. 1658. the Lady Puleston dyed. She was (saith he) the best Friend I had on Earth, but my Friend in Heaven is still where he was, and he will never leave me nor forsake me. He preached her Funeral Sermon from Isa. 3. last, Cease from Man whose Breath is in his Nostrils. He hath noted this Expression of hers not long before she died: My Soul leans to Jesus Christ, lean to me sweet Saviour.
