When Christian Friends came to visit him, he always laboured to require their kindness ⟨p. 61⟩in Godly counsel and exhortations: he wished them to be frequent in reading the Scriptures, to prize highly and meditate much on the promises, to be holy and blameless in their conversations, by no means to forsake but to stick close to ordinances, and to hold on in communion with the people of God in the Town. When Epictetus broke his leg (its reported of him) he discoursed as if his soul had been in another mans body. And when the bones of Mr. Wilson were sore vexed with the violence of his disease, he would discourse in such a composed Heavenly manner, as if he had ailed nothing.
