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

32. Her Father perceiving her to ⟨p. 49⟩grow very weak, said, I perceive Child thou art very weak: It is true Sir (said she) I feel my weakness increaseth, and I see your sorrow increasing too, which is a piece of my affliction; be content, I pray you, it is the Lord which doth it, and let you and I say with David, Let us fall into the Lords hands, for his mercies are great.

33. She laid a great charge upon her Parents not to be over-grieved for her after her death, urging that of David upon them, while the Child was sick, he fasted and wept, but when it died, he washed his face and sat up and eat, and said, Can I bring him back again from death, I shall go to him but he shall not return to me. So ought you to say after my death, our Child is well, for we know it shall be well with them that trust in the Lord. She did lay a more particular and straight charge upon her mother; saying to her, dear mother, who ⟨p. 41⟩have done so much for me, you must promise me one thing before I die; and that is, that you will not sorrow over-much for me: I speak thus to you, because I am afraid of your great affection; consider others Losses what they have been; Remember Job; forget not what Christ foretold; In the world you shall have tribulation, but be of good cheer in me you shall have peace; and must the Apostles suffer so great tribulation, and must we suffer none? Did not Jesus Christ my only Life and Saviour sweat drops of blood? Was he not in a bitter agony, mocked spit at, nailed to the Cross, and a Spear thrust through his blessed side, and all this for my sake, for my stinking sins sake? did not he cry out, my God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Did not Christ hang naked upon the Cross to purchase for me the garments of salvation, and to cloth me with his righteousness, for there ⟨p. 42⟩is Salvation in no other name.
