It is not the Portion of all the Children of God, to Die with Triumphant Joys. Very Eminent Servants of God, have, with Holy Bains, declared on their Death-beds, that tho' they have Enjoyed a Calm of Soul, yet they had no uncommon Joys. Yea, Sometimes they have rather Suffered some Dejection, some Despondency of Mind▪ Pious Throgmorton when Dying, asked the famous Dod, What shall be thought of a Dying man, who has not the Light of the Countenance of God shining on him? Mr. Dod replied, What shall be thought of JESUS CHRIST, who when He was a Dying Said, My God, My God, Why hast thou forsaken me? This Thought revived him. On the other side, It is the Portion of Some, to go away Triumphing unto the Heavenly World. ⟨p. 49⟩So did our Great Ames, unto the Astonishment of a Popish Physician; who asked, Whether Protestants did use to Die after that manner! Thus Mr. Holland, thus Dr. Winter, had such Views and Joys of Heaven in their Dying Hours, That they Scarce knew, whether they were in the Body, or out of the Body. Yea, Some Handmaids of the Lord have had such Experiences; The Fearful Sex have Triumphed over the King of Fears. Dying Mrs. Stubs said unto those about her, O that you did but see what I see! I see Millions of Angels; whom God has appointed to carry my Soul to Heaven. Dying Mrs. Brettergh said, O the Joys! the Joys! the Joys that I feel! They are Wonderful, they are Wonderful, they are Wonderful!
