10. O my dear Child, said his Father, hast thou so strong a Faith?
11 Ye•, said the Child, God hath given me so strong a Faith upon Himself through Jesus Christ, that the Devil himself shall flee from me, for it is said, He who Believeth in the Son hath Everlasting Life, and he hath overcome the wicked One. Now I Believe in Jesus Christ my Redeemer, and He will not leave or forsake me, but shall give unto me Eternal Life, and then shall I Sing, Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of Sabbath.
12▪ Then with a short word of Prayer, Lord be Merciful to me a poor Sinner, he quietly breathed out his Soul, and sweetly slept in Jesus, when he was about Seven Years old. He died August 8. 1664.
Hallelujah.
