But why should there be an interruption made, where is the crime? Some indeed say we are disloyal, we are seditious. Beloved, what my actions and sufferings for his Majesty hath been is not unknown to a few of you; but how ever we must go to heaven through good report and bad report; tis well if we can get to glory though we pass through the pikes. I shall endeavour ⟨p. 7⟩that I may still improve the sincerity of my love. I will not promise that I shall still preach among you, nor will I say that I shall not; I desire to be guided by the guidance of Gods Word and his providence, my heart is towards you; you know that expression, then we shall be laid down shortly as if we were naturally dead; and if it must be so, let me leave some Legacies before I go hence. I cannot but give some counsel to your souls, and I hope there is no hurt in this.
