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

But if the Persons that make this Objection be godly, I question not but that I may give them reasonable satisfaction.

First, consider who it is that I had that example from. It was one Mrs. Jeofries in, Long-Lane in Mary Magdalen Bermondsey Parish, in the County of Surrey, a woman of that same in the Church of Christ, for ⟨image 51⟩her exemplary Piety, Wisdom, Experience, and singular watchfulness over every punctilio that she speaks; that I question not but that her name is precious to most of the Ministers of London, at least in the Borough; and as a reverend Divine said, Such a Mother in Israel, her single Testimony about London, is of as much authority almost as any one single Ministers: And having since discoursed this matter with her, she calls God to witness, that she hath spoken nothing but the Truth; only in this she failed, in that she spake not by far so much as she might have done concerning that sweet Babe. I might add, that I have since that, seen a godly gentleman out of the Country, that did profess to me, that he had seen as much as that in a little one of the same age, who since that time, I hear, went sweetly to Heaven. Doth not the Reverend Mr. Clark, in his Works, quote a Child of two years old that looked towards Heaven? ⟨image 51⟩Doth not credible History acquaint us with a Martyr at seven years old, that was whipped almost to death, and never shed one tear nor complained, and at last had his Head struck off? I do not speak of these as common matters, but record them amongst those stupendous Acts of him that can as easily work Wonders as not. What is too hard for the Almighty? Hath God said he will work no more wonders? I think most of Gods works in the business of Conversion call for Admiration: And I believe that Silence or rather Praise would better become Saints, than questioning the truth of such things; especially where an apparent Injury is thereby done to the Interest of Christ, the Honour of Gods Grace, and the Reputation of so eminent a Saint. I judge this sufficient to satisfy most, as for others I trouble not my self; if I may but promote the interest of Christ, and the Good of Souls, and give up my Account with joy, it's enough. That
