happy end repented reformed and dyed comfortably Disobedience lived obstinately and dyed miserably and who could look for other Extremi●…y as I told you before was the only Enemy that Moderation had in all the world and had hated her extremely while she lived and she the only Person that rejoyced and i●…deed she insulted at her death But this E●…mity lasted not alwayes for as God would have it within a few years after Moderation's death Extremity fell into a fit of Sickness and a happy Sickness it was to her her Extremity was Graces Opportunity she was sore handled An ordinary Disease it was not but she was in great extremity and pain The Physitians who were sent for were at their Wits end when they saw her They perceived her trouble lay deeper and concluded by all Conjectures they could make it was some inward trouble or grief oppressed her And being much pressed by them to declare whether it were so or no she confessed at last it was so indeed and that she was much troubled in her Mind and could get no rest It was about her former course of life and her many sins especially she ●…aid one thing lay heaviest upon h●…r above all others which they were long ere they could get out of her yet she was observed by them that watched with her sometimes between sleeping and waking to mutter to her self and they could over-hear her now and then and her talk was of Moderation and many times she would start of a sudden and look agast and bid the By-stand●…rs look about and tell her if they saw any thing and sometimes would ask them if they saw not Moderation there Once she lay as in a Trance and seemed to them to pray and call upon God for mercy At another time she would cry out of her self and her former miscarriages saying Ah! vile Extremity Ah! sin●…ul wretch Extremity Ah! cruel Extremity And once she told one of her Maids that Moderation had appeared to her in her sleep all clothed in white and with a smiling Countenance asked her what reason she had to be so bitter an Enemy to her who had never done her wrong in all her life and now she was dead continued her Enmity to her Friends Told her she was sent to admonish her to repent and amend her waȳes then should she be a happy Woman This did much run in her mind and she would often say O! that Moderation were alive again All the World should see I did not so much hate h●…r before as I should now prize and love her She would often wish also that Eusebiu●… or Philotheos the Husband and Brother of Moderation were now alive that she might manifest what respect she bare them and that in h●…r distress she might ease her mind to th●…m and receive some comfort f●…om them which she thought was not possible for her to have but from the hands of some of Mode●…ation's Friends Then she began to make enquiry what able and discreet Divine there was to whom she might unbosom her self And was told there lived not far from her a choice and prudent Minister named Agathophilus one well experienced in Cases and perplexities of Conscience and one mighty tender in dealing with a troubled Spirit a chearful and comfortable old Man he was and a great ch●…risher of every Spark of good were it never so little and for that he had his name given him Extremity had never been acquainted with him before although they lived not far the one from the other nor indeed with many other strict Divines whom she had looked upon ●…or the most of them formerly as a company of Soure and discontented persons for him she presently sends and he came immediately and she at first sight of him was ready somewhat like Cornelius to Saint Pe●…er to rise off her Couch and fall down upon her knees to him He asked her how she did what was her grief She confessed she had been a grievous sinner and had much offended but one thing there was which she had hitherto concealed but now she would hide nothing from him one thing there was that troubled her more then all the rest she had been a bitter Enemy to Moderation and now she saw plainly the Evening of Sickness is the Morning of Light that she had been much mistaken in her and feared she had much to answer for her uncharitableness she had alway●…s looked upon Moderation with an evil eye as if she had been the 〈◊〉 Creature alive and thereupon had hat●…d her to the death but now she was quite and clean of another mind and did think she was as good a Soul as liv●…d and the most innocent and saw that she was a better Christian then her self wishing with all her heart that when she dyed she might change places with Modera●… and were she now alive again he would shew her all the love was ●…ossible This and much more she ●…onfest and the Tears gushed out ●…hen she mentioned these things ●…nd oft-times would lift up her eyes ●…o Heaven and pray God forgive ●…e my bitterness against Moderati●…n And another thing she charged her self withall which she thought made her more inexcusable and she said she had never thought of it till in this her sickness and that was this she had been formerly under the hands of cruel Oppressours and could not help her self and indeed she had had hard measure but it was not from the hands of Moderation nor any of her Friends who could only pity her and were troubled to see it but by other hands as extreme as Extremity her self Schollers have a saying One extr●…am is most opp●…site to 〈◊〉 But then s●…e had promised and made a solemn Vow that if ●…ver sh●… should come out of her sufferings she ha●… learnt to pity sufferers while she liv●… ed and should never countenance Violence again yet since she had bee●… in that good condition she now enjoyed and Moderation she acknowledged had not been backward to contribute her best assistance for hers an●… the common benefit she had bot●… forgotten Moderation and her own former Vows and Promises And here she burst out into Tears a●…resh Agath●…philus seeing her in such an Agony 〈◊〉 to comfort her yet told her she had been much to blame for her former Violence but seeing she was now so true a Pen●…tent and so changed in her mind as she declared he bad h●…r not fear her case was no wayes desperate and to confirm her he told her further that in his Experience he had m●…t with the like before and could give her many Scripture Instances He would not tell her of Manas●…es he said and what he had done yet found mercy for his Case was quite beyond the Line and Eccentrical to her Relation she had made But he could tell her of divers of no mean Quality whose Names and Stories are no wayes blemished by it that had been drawn aside sometimes as she had been As Darius
