Eleventhly, another Jewel was his comfortable passage out of this world, dying with a great deal of calmness and serenity upon his Conscience; The morning before he died, I heard him say these words, It is one ⟨p. 410⟩thing to speak of Christ, and of Heaven, and another thing to feel the consolations of Christ and of Heaven as I do, clapping his hand on his breast. Another time I heard him say, The comforts of a holy life are real, soul-supporting, and that he felt the reality of those comforts, and that by him we might know it was not in vain to serve God. And I cannot forget his speech the morning before he died, I am a little strained, but I care no more for my life, then I do for this fillip: That which was said of old Simeon, Luke 2. may be said of this Reverend Minister, Mr. Simeon Ash, who was a Simeon, a just and devout man, an old Servant of. Jesus Christ, one that waited for the consolation of Israel; one that dyed, though not with Christ in his bodily Arms, yet with Christ in the Arms of his Faith: and when he died, could say as it is there, Now Lord, lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, for mine eyes have seen thy salvation.
