LIVING WORDS THROUGH A DYING MAN BEING A Melodious Song of the Mercies and Judgments of the Lord sung by a Disciple of Christ on his dying bed when the Pangs of Death were upon his outward man With an Arrow shot against Babylon being a direct Prophecy of the Downfal of her Merchants the Hirelings and False Prophets With sweet Exhortations and Prophecies also of the spreading of the Glorious Truth of God until it shall have covered the Face of the whole Earth By one who dyed a Prisoner for the Testimony of Jesus FRANCIS PATCHET Rev. 2. 10. Fear none of these things that thou shalt suffer Behold the Devil shall cast some of you into Prison that ye may be tried and ye shall have Tribulation Ten Dayes but be thou faithful unto death I will give thee a Crown of Life Cor. 4. 16. Though our Outward man perish yet the Inward man is renewed Day by Day Cor. 4. 17. For our light Affliction which is but for a Moment worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal Weight of Glory Several Testimonies concerning the faithful Servant of God Francis Patchet of Scotforth in the County of Lancaster who dyed a Sufferer for the Testimony of Jesus which he held against the Antichristian Oppression of Tythes inflicted upon him by one Garthwaite the Priest of Lancaster And because for Good Conscience sake he could not satisfie the Vnlawful and Vnreasonable Dem●nds of the said Priest in giving or paying him Tythes he cast him into prison in Lancaster But this not being sufficient to satisfie his Envy and Cruelty as afterwards will further appear would not let him be so near home but removed him to London about 180 Miles from his abode where he was committed to the Fleet Prison until the time of Sickness which was unto death and dyed a Prisoner the 2d of the 10th Moreth 1677. The Testimony of Christopher and Elizabeth Cheesman concerning him I Have a Living Testimony to bear concerning Francis Patchet that faithful Sufferer in the Cause of God who held forth his Testimony unto the end of his dayes against the Oppression of Tythes for which he dyed a Prisoner at London about one hundred and eighty Miles from his Habitation being sent thither by a persecuting hireling Priest because for good Conscience sake he could not satsfie his greedy Appetite in paying or giving him Tythes which being in direct Opposition to the Government of our Lord Iesus Christ our High Priest who was sent by the Father and offered up himself once for all to put an end to the first Priesthood with Tythes and Offerings appertaining to the first Covenant And therefore doth every one that believeth in Christ Iesus the second Covenant and in Faithfulness obey him deny to pay Tythes and to maintain such Ministers who abide not in Christ's Doctrine who said Freely ye have received freely give which command the Apostles and Ministers of Christ in dayes past did keep as do his Ministers in this our Age Glory to the Lord God forever Christ and his Apostles and Ministers took no Tythes nor persecuted any either for Maintenance or because they differed from them in Worship or Religion And those Ministers who obey Christ and abide in his Doctrine and follow his Example and the Example of his Holy Apostles those are true Ministers and profit the People But those who Preach for filthy Lucre and persecute those who are taught of God For Wages for whom they do no Work such are they the Prophet speaks of That run and God never sent them and therefore they Profit not the People at all And this faithful Sufferer loved not his Life unto death but laid it down in Testimony for the Truth of God a Witness against the persecuting Hireling Priest and is now crowned with Glory Immortal among the Redeemed of the Lord for ever and evermore And I being a frequent Visiter of him for divers dayes before his Death yea many times in a Day and in that Night also when Pangs of Death took hold onf his outward man under which he lay with much Patience even as a Lamb with out complaint and as one not alrighted or disturbed at the appearance of Death can give a further and ciearer Testimony of his Faithfulness to the pure Truth of God which he spake and declared of some few hours before his departure being very weak insomuch that according to outward appearance his sudden departure was much expected and all about him did conclude that his Breath was almost gone but after he had lain still a little while being a little after the 12. hour of the night at which time he began to speak continued speaking till about the 3. hour in Praising and magnifying the name of the Lord but his Voice at first was so weak that we could not clearly hear what he said only we understood that he pray'd said O Lord God of mercy preserve thy People immediately his speech was strengthned he spake with an audible voice so that he was heard over all the Chamber where he lay and he began to sing forth of the mercy goodness of the Lord and said O Lord God Everlasting praises everlasting Glory and Honour for ever be given to thy Name thou hast made way for thy Redeemed as in ancient dayes when thou madest the Sea dry land for thy People Israel to go through Oh Glory and Honour for ever be unto thy Name who art Unchangeable in all thy wayes thou madest man in thy own Image in thy Likeness madest thou him but he lost it through Disobedience But O Lord in thy Unexpressible Love thou sent thy only Son Iesus Christ the New man not Old Adam to redeem again Oh everlasting Praises to thy name for ever saith my soul Oh the Seed the little Seed must spring and grow till it comes to reign whose right it is and all that stands in Opposition against it must be brought under all that is contrary to it must bow to its Appearance Oh our God! there is no God like to our God He hath given his Son a Light into the world and his Salvation to the ends of the Earth Glory and Honour to the Lord for ever O this blessed day wherein Truth has appeared Oh England's Glory Truth Truth against all Untruth Oh Friends obey the Truth love the Truth Buy the Truth and Sell it not Ah Christ Iesus The Way the Truth and the Life Oh my dear Friends Brethren and Sisters that are here with me I know you not that is after the flesh love the Truth obey the Truth Truth Truth Truth God's Truth is pure it is holy it admits of no Impurity of no mixture it leads out of the Fall out of the Old Adam Oh the little Seed that grows in God's Garden Ah dear friends work in the Garden of God mind the little Penny work in the Garden of God Oh how Love springs up in my Heart Oh Praises
