June 26. I visited (upon call) R. M. in his bed of sickness, who confessed that the Lord made me an instrument of his souls Conversion; and now in his sickness the Spirit of God had filled his soul with Comforts, and given him Assurance, which he drew from Christ in that precious Promise, Believe in the Lord Jesus, 1and thou shalt be saved.
June 27. I visited (upon call) E.W. whose heart God touched in the midst of our Prayers, and she received some Spiritual Comforts.
July 1. R. M. sent for me again, and drawing to his end, he proclaimed Gods goodness, and sweetness, and mercy, which were his last words; and after, in the midst of our Prayers, he gave up the ghost. Now he enjoys that of which he had such sweet fore-tastes. The next day I Preached his Funeral Sermon on that Text which he hit on for his comfort, when he cried, It is come, it is come.
