the Lord said it should not be some there were that had Barks at Wexford that attended to speak with Jesus Christ I could not tell what they said they discoursed much about the Governour and all that I heard Christ say was that winter was not yet come for them at Wexford then I thought I met with Captain Hairebottel who had very great respect shewn to him and I thought his prayers did us very much good and he was very much commended for his tenderness to the sick Souldiers at Wexford I thought there were other men from Wexford that came for safe passages and one Officer was very earnest for a ship that he was to come in and I heard this expression concerning him we must take special care of his ship for he was very tender and kind to the poor sick souldiers and much discourse I heard about sick souldiers Jesus Christ said if storms will not do I have other afflictions to make them more tender-hearted and pitiful methought the person that so walked in the room spake much to this effect that there would be many storms by reason of much hardheartedness to break and melt their spirits since which blessed be God Captain Lucus is come safe in the wild Bear one whom I observed in Wexford to be very liberal tender-hearted and compassionate to the poor Souldiers whereupon I awaked this dream lasted about two hours all which time the storm increased my Wife told me that she jogged me above twenty times to awaken me and wondred that I should sleep seeing we were all so near the point of death said I to her peace my dear heart be quiet we shall all be safe Jesus Christ hath promised me our lives be not afraid and told her all my dream whereat she was much amazed but could not believe any safety and urged me to prayer being her self well resolved to dye cheerfully submitting to Gods good pleasure but told me she had a strong impression upon her spirit by way of question as if the Lord had spoken to her that in case he should be pleased to spare her life at this time whether she could be content to suffer for him whereunto she found her heart most ready and willing by the Lords assistance to lay down her life for his glory but my own heart was then giving thanks and brim-full of comfort I related my dream to Liutenant Col. Saunders Major Bee Ben. and the two Maids that were in the Cabbin And sent in for Captain Stoaks the Master the Gunner Bennet and Marshal and bid them be of good cheer and ply their business for we should be all safe telling them what I had dreamed they admired at my confidence and Captain Stoaks could not believe it said he I know God is very merciful and can do much but the Ship hath five foot water in the hould which the Pumpe could not reach being choaked and very subject to leaks being twenty years old and then it was about nine at night the storm increasing and they not knowing where about they were I told them that I was assured of safety as if I were on Shore and one word more I had dreamed which I told them of said I to Jesus Christ what if the Ship should break asunder He answered me you shall be as safe as if you were in Codds boat a boat at Wexford that we went in towards the ship in the bay and were driven back several times or as if you were in the Governors house in Wexford what impression it had upon their spirits I know not but some that were in the great Cabbin told me that they did verily believe it and that their hearts were much quieted by what I said The storm increased and a great noyse was made in the ship the water came in at the great Cabbin windows the ship ready to overset and to founder many screeks and cryes out now we are gone and yet my confidence and assurance increased I bid them pray and be thankful for they were as safe as if they were on shoar still my poor wife said it could not be I told her I was sure of it she must lye still and see the salvation of our God I confess I much marvelled at the change that was wrought in my own spirit from a trembling fearfulness to a rejoycing assurance and considering it was but a dream I thought I might presume too much in an over-confidence and was jealous over my own heart lest I should offend begging the Lords extraordinary assistance sutable to the present danger but the more I checkt my heart of presumption the more did my faith mount upon the wing as if I had been upon dry ground and had not so much fear as the thousand part of the weight of a hair the poor ship workt for her life and the Sea-men took infinite pains two parts being fallen sick the other 30. were continually at it somtimes they were in a little hopes sometimes their souls ready to faint about twelve at night he that was at the Helm by my Cabbin said all was broken the water came in there a little before they cryed out that the foresail was split and carried away and the Anchors thrown over board to lighten the ship yet all this while my spirit was the same in a thankful admiration for so great a deliverance and said all shall be as well as heart could wish when they spoke of lightning the ship my wife call'd to Capt. Stoaks and bad him if he thought sit to throw over some Trunks which we had in the ship which I liked very well as it was in Pauls-storm in regard of others that were in the ship but for my own part I said I would not have any thing thrown over for I knew all would be well and so blessed be the Lord of Seas about four in the morning the storm abated my heart was in a very thankful posture and that Wednesday night after when the Sea-men said we were in most danger entring into Castle-Haven in the dark that we must have the wind turn twice in half an hour to save us first to carry us from the breach of the shore to the Staggs and then to carry us off from them when we were within a Cables length of the shore and the Seamen divided not knowing what to do Captain Stoakes bad let fall an Anchor or else we are all dead men others said try to get off from shore and there was a great screek that all was gone I was not one jot afraid but told them they were fure to get safe to Land and the ship to a Harbour and the Lord shewed himself kind to poor sinners One thing though it seem to be of small importance yet it runs much in my mind and I must needs relate it I thought that Jesus Christ said to me that the goods should be all safe and nothing hurt or lost by the storm but when we came
