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

HE was mighty in Prayer, and his spirit was oftentimes so transported in it, that he forgot the weakness of his own body, and of others spirits: Indeed the acquaintance that he had with God was so sweet, and his converse with him so frequent, that when he was engaged in duty, he scarce knew how to leave that which was so delightful and suited to his spirit. His constant course for some years was this: He prayed at least three times a day in secret, sometimes seven times; twice a day in the Family, or College: And he found the sweetness of it beyond imagination, and enjoyed wonderful Communion with God, and tasted much of the pleasantness of a Heavenly Life: And he could say by experience, that the ways of wisdom were ways of pleasantness, and all her paths peace. He knew what it was to wrestle with God, and was come to that pass, that he could scarce come off his knees without his Fathers blessing. He was used to converse with God with a holy familiarity as a Friend, and would upon all occasions run to him for advice, and had many strange and immediate Answers of Prayer. One of which I ⟨p. 25⟩think it not altogether impertinent to give the World an account of.
