PREDICTIONS OF Mr. CHRISTOPHER LOVE,
A FEW nights after he was sentenced to be b••eaded, on Tower-hill, which was on the 22d day of August, 1651, ten days before his appointed time, by the sentence he received at the bar, being one night visited by two of his intimate acquaintances, or bosom friends, as he himself called them, they began to complain of the cruelty of the times, and the malice and usage of time-serving brethren; to which Mr. Love answered, And think you this is an evil time? No, no; this is the very time when grace and true godliness can be distinguished from hypocrisy: many have followed Christ hitherto for the loaves, and are now turned back for the roughness of the way, and the sore trial and tribulation which others met with who are gone be•ore them.
