I find my soul carried forth to a secret resting, relying, leaning, staying, and hanging upon Christ, for life and happiness. Though I know not how it shall go with me, yet I 1have thrown my self into his arms, I lean upon him, there I'll hang, and there I'll rest and stay: If I must perish, I'll perish there.

And thus, Sir, I have opened my state and condition to you. And now I do earnestly desire your judgement upon the whole.

Well then, this I shall say, as I must answer it in the day of my appearing before God, That had I as many souls as I have hairs on my head, or as there be Stars in heaven, I could freely adventure the loss of them all, if these things do not undeniably speak out, not only the truth, but also the strength of Grace, &c. Nay, let me tell you, That he that finds but any of these things really in his soul (though the Lord hath not given him a clear and full manifestation of his love and favour, &c.) yet while breath is in his body, he ha's eminent cause to bless God, and to walk thankfully and humbly before him.
