He kept praying & praising, & singing psalms till his end came; and then being taken speechless & senseless, his friends apprehended they should hear him speak no more. Thus he lay for divers hours drawing on; but at length he just came to himself again, and sprang up in his bed, spreading his arms abroad, as tho' going to leap into the Arms of a Redeemer, and Shouting, O my friends; Heaven rings all over at this! They wonder at this, a great and an old sinner coming to Heaven!

O glorify Free-Grace for evermore! And so he went away to the Rest of God.
