I Richard Baxter of London Clerk, unworthy Servant of Jesus Christ, drawing to the End of this Transitory Life, having through God's great Mercy the free use of my Understanding, do make this my last Will and Testament—My Spirit I commit, with Trust and Hope of the Heavenly Felicity, into the Hands of Jesus my glorified Redeemer and Intercessor: and by his Mediation into the hands of God my reconciled Father, the ⟨image 11⟩Infinite, Eternal Spirit, Life, Light and Love, most great and wise and good, the God of Nature, Grace, and Glory: of whom, and through whom, and to whom are all things: My absolute Owner, Ruler, and Benefactor; whose I am, and whom (though imperfectly) I serve, seek, and trust; to whom be glory for ever, Amen.—To him I render most humble thanks that he hath filled up my Life with abundance of Mercy, pardoned my Sins by the Merits of Christ, and vouchsafed by his Spirit to Renew and Seal me as his own; and to moderate and bless to me my long Sufferings in the Flesh, and at last to sweeten them by his own Interest and comforting Approbation, who taketh the Cause of Love and Concord as his own.—
