A47081 Mercy triumphing over judgement or, A warning for Sabbath-breakers Published for Gods glory and the benefit of all true Christians. By me Thomas Jones, of the City of Hereford. Who for prophaning the Lords Day was [m]ost miraculously strucken by the hand of God, and ut[te]rly depriv'd of all my senses, for the space of 4 years; [an]d now by his great mercy (upon my hearty repen[ta]nce) being perfectly restored to my former health, I [w]as moved to set forth this ensuing relation, as a testi[m]ony of my thankfulnesse to God for his fatherly [ch]astisement; and that all others by my example, may [b]e deterred from so hainous an offence as Sabbath-breaking. Jones, Thomas, of Hereford. 1641 (1641) Wing J993A; ESTC S103195 21,118 49

on_o whitsunday_n for_o than_o i_o know_v from_o god_n i_o go_v astray_o within_o six_o week_n the_o surgeon_n come_v again_o to_o i_o but_o then_o they_o say_v i_o tell_v he_o plain_a i_o know_v he_o not_o wherefore_o he_o do_v reply_n your_o brain_n i_o feel_v when_o you_o be_v like_a to_o die_v witness_v this_o bone_n which_o then_o i_o take_v from_o you_o my_o friend_n do_v say_v alas_o it_o be_v too_o too_o true_a he_o under_o god_n do_v save_v your_o life_n on_o earth_n and_o give_v a_o be_v to_o your_o second_o birth_n then_o as_o a_o child_n i_o do_v begin_v to_o go_v and_o senseless_a live_v of_o grief_n of_o pain_n of_o woe_n my_o mother_n and_o my_o friend_n new_o do_v grieve_v and_o pray_v that_o i_o so_o simple_a may_v not_o live_v they_o of_o a_o wedding_n speak_v where_o i_o have_v be_v wish_v that_o i_o those_o party_n never_o have_v see_v whereat_o i_o muse_v for_o i_o have_v clean_o forget_v the_o same_o alas_o say_v i_o i_o know_v it_o not_o have_v not_o the_o lord_n new_o mould_v i_o again_o and_o make_v i_o now_o a_o spectacle_n for_o man_n to_o gaze_v upon_o but_o it_o be_v my_o maker_n pleasure_n which_o i_o embrace_v as_o worldling_n do_v their_o treasure_n his_o sabbath_n i_o profane_v not_o once_o nor_o twice_o but_o too_o too_o oft_o for_o which_o i_o sacrifice_v these_o sigh_n of_o i_o my_o wound_n it_o fair_o heal_v which_o please_v my_o surgeon_n well_o yet_o he_o appeal_v to_o god_n he_o can_v not_o make_v i_o speak_v again_o yet_o i_o but_o half_a a_o year_n do_v so_o remain_v nay_o in_o a_o month_n or_o two_o my_o health_n i_o have_v though_o weak_a and_o feeble_a melancholy_a sad_a but_o then_o my_o mother_n she_o my_o double_a nurse_n depart_v home_o whereat_o i_o grieve_v far_o worse_o to_o think_v my_o faculty_n from_o i_o be_v go_v which_o make_v i_o sigh_v and_o pray_v to_o god_n alone_o for_o grace_n and_o that_o he_o will_v be_v please_v to_o see_v my_o doleful_a case_n my_o fear_n infirmity_n in_o mercy_n then_o my_o memory_n he_o send_v again_o and_o give_v i_o grace_n for_o to_o repent_v then_o on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n my_o thought_n do_v run_v i_o grieve_v i_o mourn_v to_o think_v what_o i_o have_v do_v on_o whitsunday_n before_o declare_v alas_o for_o which_o i_o fear_v the_o heaven_n bring_v this_o to_o pass_v on_o i_o and_o make_v i_o to_o the_o world_n relate_v the_o cause_n that_o mortal_a man_n that_o sin_n may_v hate_v my_o heart_n condemn_v i_o still_o for_o that_o offence_n cause_o seven_o week_n after_o i_o have_v lose_v each_o sense_n my_o memory_n fail_v in_o all_o thing_n that_o i_o know_v before_o that_o time_n which_o i_o before_o do_v show_v then_o in_o my_o grief_n i_o sleep_v and_o in_o my_o sleep_n the_o angel_n speak_v that_o do_v my_o body_n keep_v yet_o four_o and_o thou_o shall_v be_v as_o thou_o have_v be_v which_o make_v i_o hope_n at_o four_o week_n end_n to_o have_v see_v it_o come_v to_o pass_v but_o that_o night_n in_o a_o dream_n the_o angel_n speak_v again_o four_o year_n i_o mean_v with_o that_o i_o wake_v and_o praise_v the_o god_n of_o might_n who_o in_o my_o sleep_n resolve_v my_o doubt_n that_o night_n which_o make_v my_o heart_n rejoice_v then_o as_o i_o pray_v the_o spirit_n speak_v again_o and_o thus_o it_o say_v god_n sacred_a book_n take_v thou_o and_o understand_v his_o will_n read_v it_o and_o mark_v what_o he_o command_v do_v not_o despair_n he_o know_v thy_o judgement_n be_v weak_a thy_o heart_n he_o know_v &_o what_o thy_o tongue_n will_v speak_v observe_v and_o note_v his_o mercy_n manifold_a to_o heinous_a sinner_n our_o fore-forefather_n old_a which_o book_n in_o time_n i_o read_v in_o hope_n in_o fear_n yet_o speechless_a i_o remain_v for_o half_a a_o year_n after_o that_o dreadful_a accident_n most_o strange_a but_o then_o my_o desperate_a thought_n to_o faith_n do_v change_v now_o when_o the_o idol_n of_o vain_a pleasure_n she_o who_o on_o the_o lord_n day_n i_o do_v ride_v to_o see_v be_v of_o her_o sickness_n late_o recover_v quite_o her_o lewd_a temptation_n make_v my_o soul_n affright_v but_o than_o i_o find_v god_n be_v displease_v likewise_o with_o she_o the_o loadstone_n to_o my_o misery_n for_o on_o his_o bless_a day_n his_o day_n of_o rest_n his_o word_n i_o loathe_v when_o she_o my_o heart_n possess_v to_o she_o i_o ride_v who_o likewise_o do_v profane_a god_n day_n for_o which_o offence_n she_o come_v to_o shame_n that_o year_n she_o from_o those_o part_n disgraceful_a flee_v and_o in_o another_o shire_n be_v bring_v to_o bed_n the_o child_n be_v bear_v of_o it_o she_o be_v bereave_v by_o death_n ere_o since_o her_o native_a place_n she_o leave_v therefore_o i_o pray_v as_o god_n convert_v i_o do_v so_o o_o lord_n to_o she_o where_o ere_o she_o be_v then_o from_o my_o mother_n speedy_o i_o hear_v my_o father_n in_o law_n lie_v sick_a his_o death_n she_o fear_v which_o make_v i_o strive_v to_o write_v my_o mind_n again_o to_o she_o and_o then_o i_o wish_v she_o to_o refrain_v to_o grieve_v excessive_o if_o he_o shall_v die_v god_n will_v provide_v enough_o fot_o she_o and_o i_o after_o which_o time_n eight_o day_n he_o live_v the_o most_o then_o as_o they_o say_v he_o yield_v up_o the_o ghost_n which_o when_o i_o hear_v i_o grieve_v yet_o than_o i_o think_v that_o god_n do_v look_v on_o i_o again_o and_o for_o my_o mother_n good_a this_o chance_n befall_v that_o after_o age_n may_v this_o story_n tell_v when_o she_o be_v marry_v to_o that_o second_o man_n i_o then_o be_v apprentice_n from_o my_o master_n run_v because_o i_o grieve_v at_o her_o unlucky_a fate_n i_o fear_v her_o choice_n will_v prove_v unfortunate_a which_o soon_o do_v come_v to_o pass_v his_o gain_n do_v slip_v still_o through_o his_o hand_n by_o too_o oft_o suretyship_n which_o make_v my_o mother_n vex_v she_o weep_v she_o grieve_v yea_o small_a content_n she_o have_v while_o here_o he_o live_v wherefore_o this_o dire_a mischance_n the_o lord_n do_v send_v to_o i_o that_o she_o in_o wales_n may_v i_o attend_v but_o when_o to_o hereford_n she_o be_v return_v within_o eight_o day_n she_o for_o her_o husband_n mourn_v who_o unexpected_a death_n perplex_v her_o heart_n but_o than_o man_n chief_a protector_n take_v her_o part_n on_o she_o my_o thought_n do_v run_v i_o can_v not_o rest_v until_o she_o yield_v to_o my_o small_a request_n which_o only_o be_v that_o she_o will_v live_v with_o i_o the_o which_o the_o power_n divine_a do_v first_o decree_n with_o i_o my_o father_n name_n she_o have_v again_o '_o
