To what a sweet Change of their Condition, are these our Friends now arrived! Instead of Hellish Moors at their pleasure Kicking and Scourging and Plaguing of them, they are in the Arms of their most agreeable Relatives, and others whom they daily behold with mutual Delight.

Instead of the Sabbaths which they saw without any Rest in them, they have now as many Opportunities for the Service of God and their Souls, as they wish for.
