A token for children being an exact account of the conversion, holy and exemplary…

18. When he was told that if he should recover, he must not live as he list; but he must give up himself to Christ, and to be his Child and Servant, to bear his Yoke, and be obedient unto his Laws, and live a holy life, and take his Cross, and suffer mocking and reproach, it may be persecution for his Name sake. Now Child (said one to him) are you willing to have Christ upon such terms? He signified his willingness by the earnestness of his looks and words, and the casting up of his eyes to Heaven, saying, yes, with all my Soul, the Lord helping me, I will do this.

19. Yet he had many doubts ⟨p. 68⟩and fears, and was ever and anon harping upon that, that though he were willing, yet Christ he feared was not willing to accept him, because of the greatness of his sin, yet his hopes were greater than his fears.

20. The Wednesday before he died, the Child lay as it were in a trance for about half an hour, in which time he thought he saw a Vision of Angels: When he was out of his Trance, he was in a little pet, and asked his Nurse, why she did not let him go; go, whither child, said she? why along with those brave Gentlemen (said he): but they told me they would come and fetch me away for all you, upon Friday next. And he doubled his words many times, upon Friday next, those brave Gentlemen will come for me; and upon that day the Child dyed joyfully.
