March 3. Mr. B. a godly Minister in the North, being troubled in Conscience, came to me, and desired some Spiritual advice: After acknowledgement of my unfitness and weakness, I directed, as the Lord enabled. On March 8. we joined in a private day of Humiliation; and the terror of Conscience had so worn out his Spirit, and wasted his body, that he was not able (as he said) to perform: yet desiring him to depend on God, and to cast himself on him for ability; he prayed with such fervency, humility and brokenness of heart, that he opened the fountains of all eyes about him, and caused a flood of tears in my Chamber, I never saw the like day. All the glory to God.

March 29. This day I received a Letter from Mr. B. who expressed, That he had found a great and constant ease and quietness of mind, ever since that day he was by the good Providence of God cast amongst us; and that he enjoyed that quietness, as Gods gracious return of our powerful Prayers. O our Father, hallowed be thy Name in this and all things.
