His last Sickness, and Death.
AND now the time draws nigh, wherein his longings shall be satisfied; he is called to his last work; and truly, his deportment in it, was honourable; his carriage so eminently gracious, so meek, patient, fruitful, joyful and thankful, that it made all his friends stand and wonder as being abundantly above their experience and reading; and those Christians that saw him, could not but admire God in him, & look upon him as one of the most singular instances of rich grace, and even bless God that their eyes ever saw, or their ears ever heard, such things; and had such a sensible demonstration of the reality of invisibles.
