EXAMPLE V
AT Boston, 12 d. 3 m. 1694. there dyed one DANIEL WILLIAMS, in the Eighteenth year of his Age.
There was a Collection made of some of his Dying Speeches.
Being asked, Whether he Loved God? He replied, Yes, I Love Him dearly; for, Lord, whom have I in Heaven, but thee?
He said, God has promised, They that seek Him Early shall find H•m: Ever since I was a Child, I Dedicated my self to seek and serve the Lord. Though I have not had so much Time, as some others, yet that little Time which I had, I spent in waiting on, and wrestling with, God by prayer: and I said, I will not let thee go, till thou hast blessed me.
