A Burning yet Unconsumed Bush Exemplified IN THE Dolorous Life and Glorious Death Of that Young Convert And Most Excellent SAINT Mrs. MARY HARRISON Who Departed this Life June the 21st in the 23d Year of her Age. OR A Brief and Faithful Narrative Of the Effectualness of her Conviction The Painfulness of her Conversion The Dreadfulness of her Temptation The Deplorableness of her Condition And the Triumphant Joyfulness of her Dissolution Together with the Author's Speech to the Inhabitants of Havant at the close of her Funeral Sermon Published in General for Common Good but particularly at the Request of some of the New gather'd Church at Chichester of which she was a Member And especially to satisfie a Worthy Friend far off who by Letters importun'd the Author thereunto By C. NICHOLETTS Minister of the Gospel in HAVANT LONDON Printed and Sold by B. Harris at the Golden Boars-Head in Grace-Church-street 1700. To the Reverend Mr. Richard Robins Pastor of a Congregation in London My very Dear and much Esteemed Brother WHEN I Reflect on the blessed Providence that opened so wide a Door for the Occupation of your Talent the last Winter at Chichester and the strange and amazing Success that attended your Labours there I cannot but hope the Glorious Day which Zion's Converts have so long Mourned Prayed and Waited for is nigh at Hand even a plentiful Effusion of the Spirit upon all the Followers of the Lamb of which more than a Taste was given in the mighty Portion that rested upon you whilst you were delivering your Masters Errand in that Place Your Face like Moses did eminently Shine during your Commemoration on that Mount of Vision to the Observation and Admiration of all the Beholders none but your self was ignorant of it so that the Multitude was ready to Hosanna you as they did your Master before you and in the same Language too Never Man spake like this Man And so strange a Consternation was there in the Minds of all and so wonderful a Conviction in the Hearts of many as quite confounded the Opposers of Gospel Light and Truth and made them even gnash their Teeth for Madness Oh! how did the Dukes of Palestina tremble and the Inhabitants of Canaan melt away How did the Formal and Legal Rabbies Vex and Fume that a Nehemiah so suddenly so unexpectedly stood on the Wall with undaunted Courage and they could not pluck him down That there appear'd a Man whom with all their Machinations they could not hinder to seek in good Earnest the Welfare of Immortal Souls by Preaching the Truth fully and clearly as it is in Jesus so that the People which before sat in Darkness saw great Light and to those who were and a long time had been in the Regions of the Shadow of Death Light sprung up But though the Enemies of Free-Grace were grieved exceedingly by your so powerful and spiritual Preaching the Children of the Bride-Chamber were as much Comforted Enlivened Refreshed and many poor Dead Sinners Awakened Convinced and Perswaded to Embrace the Everlasting Gospel which was Sounded in their Ears in such a Strain that many though Old Hearers to my Knowledge did Profess they never heard the Gospel before And Oh! What an Astonishing Change was visibly Observ'd in the Faces of the Inhabitants of Chichester Such Crowding and Thronging to hear the Word dropping as sweet smelling Myrrh from your Lips the Oldest Man Alive never saw the like The Walls of the Meeting-house though in the coldest Season of the Winter Sweated with Heat a true Emblem of the Warmth many Frozen Hearth felt by the reflective Rays of Zion's Glory and the Spirits of the most Ignorant were strangely Reviv'd with the fragrant odoriferous Savor of Aaron's sweet Perfume so Plentifully and in a Theop-must Manner disfus'd amongst them Concerning this Perfume which I take to be an eminent Type of the Riches of Free-Grace there was a Law Enacted in the Court of Heaven Whoever made any Thing like it should be put to Death If that Statute was still in Force few Preachers in our Day would be in danger of its Penalty Alas they don't come near it their Preaching is far enough wide from it They are either bellowing Bulls of Sinai thundering out the Terrors of the Law and belching forth the Flames of Hell to affrighten and distract poor Creatures and make them run Mad or else they are for putting them to Earn their expected Happiness as Adam was doom'd to Eat his Bread with the Sweat of their Brow This they must do and that they must do to get an Interest in Christ And then we have a Learned Receipt so many Pints of Repentance that must be extracted from the Limbeck of their moist Brains so many Pounds of Duties that must be weighed at the Beam of their own Intellects to make them capable of God's Acceptance and they must be sure to come full Loaded with a Bundle of Qualifications at their Backs if they would have Christ to be their Saviour Oh! What pitiful Trash is this how far from that Gospel which the Lord Jesus sends his Ambassadors whom he anoints with the Unction of the Holy One to Preach and Hold forth to poor Sinners That sounds forth a free Offer and Tender of Mercy to all that Look to and Believe in a Crucify'd Jesus of which Ambassadors Sir you apparently and beyond Contradiction manifested your self to be One and a chief One too when you first lifted up your Voice as a Trumpet in the Audience of the Inhabitants of Chichester Oh! how Beautiful were your Feet shod with the Preparation of the Glorious Gospel for that you brought good Tidings to them that were ready to Perish you Published Peace even that Peace which the World cannot give and which the Devil cannot take away you brought good Tidings of Good the Goodness of Free-Grace the Immense Ocean of Divine Love You Published Salvation and that with a Gospel Spirit and in a Gospel Dialect as it was Published by the Lord Jesus himself and all his Apostles You said unto Zion thy God Reigneth on the Throne of Mercy dispencing Grace and Favour to the worst of Sinners For this were your Labours Accepted for this was your Person Honoured for this was your Ministry in very high Esteem among all sorts of Persons How many will have cause to Bless God to all Eternity they ever saw your Face Oh! How many visible Seals of your Apostleship did you leave behind you when you left the Place You never Preached a Sermon there in Vain but many Eyes were Opened many Hearts Affected and deeply Touched many Consciences Awakened whenever you opened your Mouth which made a worthy Person well Vers'd in Gospel Affairs Write me Word then at London he verily Believ'd you did more Good Two or Three Sabbath-days in Chichester than any Minister yea than all the Ministers in Sussex had done Seven Years before This was very refreshing News to my Soul it made my Heart
