11. 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 dyed, I heard him say these words. It is one thing to speak of Christ, and of Heaven, and another thing to feel the consolation 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 this speech the morning before he dyed, I am a little straitened, but I care no more for my life than I do for this philip. That which was said of old Simeon, Luke 2. may be said of this reverend 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 Arm, yet with Christ in the Arms of his faith; and when he dyed, could say, as it is there, Now Lord, lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, for mine eyes have seen thy salvation.
