He falls into a deep Consumption.
His body is now shaken again, and he falls into a deep Consumption; but, this messenger of God did not in the least damp him. Spitting ⟨p. 99⟩of blood, was no ghastly thing to one that had his eye upon the blood of Jesus; faint sweats did not daunt him that had always such reviving cordials at hand. It's matter of joy to him, that he was now in some hopes of having his earnest desires satisfied.
After he had been a while sick, a sudden dimness seized upon his eyes; by and by his sight quite failed; and there was such a visible alteration in him, that he and others judged these things to be the symptoms of death approaching. But when he was thus taken, he was not in the least surprised; but was lifted up with joy to think, what a life he was going to, looking upon death it self as one of his Fathers servants, and his friend that was sent as a messenger to conduct him safely to his glorious palace.
