It was a notable §5speech of Mr. Glover the Martyr, when he had been seeking God for the raining of Righteousness,1 he was willing to give his life for God, and yet God had absented himself from him, Oh! God was not come, he complained to his fellow Austin, that God was not come; well, but saith his friend, he will come; and give me a sign before you die, if you feel the Spirit of God come to your heart: well, the poor man continued all night, when he was to be ⟨p. 484⟩burnt the next day, and yet he was not come, yea, the Sheriff came to carry him to the Stake, and yet his heart was dead. But he goes on till he came within the sight of the stake, and then the holy Ghost came into his heart, and filled him with joy, so that he lifts up his hands and voice, and cries, He is come, he is come. Now there came a shower of Righteousness upon his heart, he was content to seek the Lord till he came.
