Invisibles, realities, demonstrated in the holy life and triumphant death of Mr. John Janeway,…

Mr. Janeway now begins to cast about how he might best improve what he did already know, and turn all his studies into the right channel; grace did not take him off from, but made him more diligent and spiritual in his study. And now Christ was at the end and bottom of every thing; how did he plot and contrive how he might most express his love and thankfulness to him who had brought him out of darkness into his marvellous light; to this end he sent up and down packets of divine letters, in which he did discourse so substantially and experimentally of the great things of God, that it would not at all have unbecome some grey head to have owned what he did write.

He was not in a little like young Elihu, whose words he used to excuse his freedom with persons of years, whose souls he did dearly pity. ⟨p. 8⟩He said days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom, but there is a spirit in a man, and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding; I am full of matter, the spirit within me, constraineth me, behold my belly is as wine which hath no vent, it is ready to burst like new bottles, I will speak that I may be refreshed, &c. O then how sweet was the favour of his graces! He could not but speak the things which he had seen and heard, and even invite all the world to taste and see how good the Lord was.
