About eight and forty hours before his Death, his eyes were dim, and his sight much failed; his Jaws shook and trembled, and his Feet were cold, and all the symptoms of Death were upon him, and his extreme parts were already almost dead and senseless, and yet, even then, his joys were (if possible) greater still: He had so many fits of joy unspeakable, that he seemed to be in one continued act of Seraphic Love, and praise. He spake like one that was just entering into the gates of the new Jerusalem: the greatest part of him was now in Heaven; not a word dropped from his mouth but it breathed Christ and Heaven. O what incouments ⟨p. 109⟩did he give to them which did stand by, to follow hard after God, and to follow Christ in a humble, believing, zealous course of life, and adding one degree of grace to another, and using all diligence to make their Calling and Election sure; and that then, they also should find, that they should have a glorious passage into a blessed Eternity.
