compassion where none can have none And by him all that beleive are justifyed from all things from which they could not be justifyed by the law of Moses even for such sins as that afforded not a typical justification from but condemned the sinner to death under the mouth of two or three witnesses yet by him all that believe through this Name in which repentance and remission of sins is preached to them are justified from all things even from all things from which they could not be justified by that law yea this perfection of the righteousness of God and plentuousness of redemption even the forgiveness of sins in and through it is witnessed in the law and Prophets for to him give all the Prophets witness that through his name whosoever beleiveth in him whosoever whatsoever they be or have been yet now beleiving in him that justifyeth the ungodly should namely through the same name of him through which they beleive receive the forgiveness of their sins it s to him not to or of us that the Prophets gave this testimony therefore 〈◊〉 his work and office as through his name his power which the Father by means of his death to blot them out in honour so through the opening of his Name in which they trust to make them partakers of it in their mind and conscience by his knowledge or still in and unto such things and so by or through the knowledg of himself shall my righteous servant justify many Here truly me thought she prevented with her understanding and with great refreshing and delight desired further to hear off express her understanding of this matter how through his name he gives the remission of sins and quickens to and nourisheth a lively hope by the resurrection of Christ from the dead and did her self very aptly oppose that name of the Lord to the fire of mens own kindling c. And with gladness still more clearly to see wherein she had exceeded did acknowledge her folly and take shame to her self for her eadiness to ca●ch at any thing to kindle a fire to her self and compass her self about with sparks for a vain hope of this life when she had such a worthy name to trust in and the grace in Christ was sufficient for her to her to encourage defend and strengthen her in her expectation of the mercy of God unto eternal life so in whatever might most conduce to that which now she was well assured this should or else should not have come upon her but while she was thus with pleasure rejoycing in the name of the Lord and in the discovery of the vanity of other confidences and sparks of her own kindling and with gladness relinquishing them shem et with some tryal of her faith by means of some coming in happily some of them not having well learned the truth as it is in Jesus and so not enough acquainted with such rejoyceing in the Lord and in his name only or not acquainted with her former exercise in the time of her afliction who urged the necessity of seeking some certain evidence and assurance of the forgiveness of her sins and thereunto pressed to a particular confession c To whom she replyed that grace of God that bringeth salvation to all men in its appearance powerfully moves to repentance oh saies she they were her sayings oft and with an appearance of deep sence as having felt and proved the truth of what she said that melts and breaks the heart it turns all the inwards of a man as it were within him that not only teaches that denying ungodliness and worldly lusts we should live soberly righteously and godly in this present world but when through forgetfulnesse and departing from it we have sinned and sinned grievously yet it admonisheth and moveth to repentance and when the heart is turned again to that oh what sorrow and melting it works in the sight of such infinite grace to be so abused and shame with encouragement to hope that yet God should wait to be gracious to such she oft repeated and asserted that it did so work even to all such things in truth as they pressed too only upon the account of duty and as a work of the Law and for knowledge of the truth of her faith and repentance without declaring any certain ground that might be as a foundation for it and move to it and work it and told them it had so taught her though she had sinned against it and though she was a vile wretched sinner yet this grace of God was exceeding abundant to her with faith and love which was in Christ Jesus and she could not but desire oh that all other sinners knew this grace of God and the gift by grace For it is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation that Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners of whom said she I am the cheif I am the cheif Howbeit he hath mercy on me for a pattern to others this grace is sufficient for me I have found it s●icient oh it is sufficient for you all oh that all knew it when some told her of what evidences some in her condition had sought and found of the truth of their repentance and graces and thence and from other like means got assurance of the forgiveness of their sins she replyed she knew no other sign or witness but the sign of the Prophet Jonah even him whom God had given for a witness to the people nor needed she any other for to him give all the Prophets witness that through his name whosever believeth in him shall receive the forgiveness of sins his name through faith in it had healed and made her strong when others urged she must take heed of resting in a false faith she again replyed 't is a faithful saying that Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners no false faith 't is the true grace of God that bring● salvation to all men and she could not but wish for them that they all knew it when again they replyed upon her that it was not others concernment but her own that was now to be minded by her and that there was something necessary to be found in her faith and repentance more then in all cases was necessary to evidence the truth of it she pleaded that there was but one Faith she knew but one and that she knew nothing she had to do but now to believe on him that justifyeth the ungodly that imputes righteousness without works and that it is to him that worketh not but believeth on him that justifyeth the ungodly that ceaseth from his own works to believe c when to this reply was made true this was one thing needful to be found in her repentance a ceasing from her own works that is said they from her evil works but this not all necessary in her case she again replyed nay from all my own works for the best of them are dead

the instructions thereof to her but she called for her Bible and did consider and ponder on what was said and then desired the woman that brought me to leave her chamber and when she was gone out told me I had spoken that which went to her heart and discovered to her all that she had done and yet in shewing where her help was and that now she would freely and fully tel● me all that was in her heart that accidentally she killed her Husband she beleived but not wittingly intentionally and that was not it that had provoked God to bring her to this judgement but something else that she had done hidden and allowed her self in which lay much upon her but now something had touched her heart that made her willing to acknowledge it as perceiving though it was vile there was for giveness and washing and therefore she was free to confesse her sins and declare her wayes to me and desired me to pray for her telling me others had been with her urging and pressing her to confess her self guilty of what she knew her self clear off and because she could not confess what they would have her judged and conde●ned her and left her as hopeless but as they set nothing before her of any ground or door of repentance opened for such so it wrought nothing upon her but wrath but after she was instructed she repented and sorrowed after a godly sort even unto life to the hope of which she was quickned and strengthned by the resurrection of Christ who was delivered for our offenses c. And retained that hope in him even unto death as was discerned and believed by some that continued with her to this I adde no more in this place nor unto this relation of Rose VVarnes but that she me● with more such tryals in the two or three dayes time she lived and was in like manner streng●hned to resist the tempter in them and not moved from the faith and hope of the gospel but waxed more strong therein by occasions of tryalls Some broken remembrances of Mrs Rose VVarnes speech at her execution containing the summe of it with some supplyes of words where her spirits and strength failed according to what her self had expressed o●t in the Prison and before many witnesses You are gathered together a great company to look upon me I hop● none with any joy at my shamefull death I am perswaded there is none rejoyce at it but that you do pitty me sympathize with me and I pray God make it of good use to you all The Lord is righteous in all that is come upon m● even unto this shamhful death I suffer it justly from his hand for I have sinned against him greivously sinned and sin brings shame it must have punishment yea I may say what profit had I of those things of which I am now ashamed the end of those things is death there fore let all take heed and be warned in time not to dally with sin God hath condemned sin in the flesh in condemning his own Son in the flesh for our sins he was made the banished One for us his Fathers wrath lay hard upon him he was in an Agony and under the power of darkness and sweat as it were greae drops of blood and water trickling down to the ground and was hung on a tree and all this as our surety he suffered in the flesh for our sin sin therefore must still be judged and condemned in the flesh and if we sin against him that was hung on a tree for us all if we sin against his grace that brings salvation to all men in due time for he by the grace of God tasted death for every man he shead his blood for every one of you for every Creature of mankind on the earth and gave himself a randsome for all and is the true light that lighteth every man that comes into the world a testimony in due time therefore if we sin against this grace especially those that name the name of Christ and that have tasted that the Lord is gracious as I have done he can by no means in clearing clear the guilty he will not let sins go unpun shed it must be judged in the flesh and if judgement be not received and ●ubmitted to now that we judge our selves it must be judged in the flesh for ever for ever in the wrath to come where their worm dyeth not and their fire is not quenched oh that is a hundred thousand sold worse then this shameful death this will be over presently and the sting is taken out of it by him that was hung on a tree for us but no end of that when a thousand times a thousand years are past its never a white shortned it s still for ever and ever therefore God is gracious as well as rightteous infinitely gracious in judgeing me thus here that he may not condem me in the world to come I have all my punishment here though far lesse infinitely lesse then my iniquity deserves yet here I have all and all this is nothing to the lake of fire the second death and whatever I could have suffered less then that had been infinite mercy yet such his mercy I might have escaped this too had I received reproof and judged my self in time but I heardned my heart against many reproofs of instruction the reproofs of this Gospel they are the way of life they powerfully reprove and melt the heart though I did not turn at them I was as a Bullock unaccustomed to the yoak nothing less then all this would bring me down I made mention of the name of the Lord but in late times not in truth nor in righteousness I walked with a blessed pretious people I tell you they are a blessed people think not the worst of them nor of the way of truth they walk in or as if the word of the Gospel of the grace of God that brings salvation to all men were without efficacy because I so sinned for I walked close with God and with his people and hid his word in my heart which I heard among them I had been preserved from so sinning against him but it was not heeded by me I did not hide it in my hart that I might not sin against him I went sometime to hear and of these late years when my iniquities had prevailed over me I went but seldome and when I heard I heard overly overly overly I did not in hearing hear I did not do what it was working in me to will and to doe I heardned my heart against the reproofs of instruction and would not take shame I thought to hide my self as Adam but with pitiful coverings when I had greviously sinned against God in turning aside to another then my Husband I thought to have concealed it that I might not take shame and that brought me to this in which God is righteous and if men have done me any wrong
