of Man which was my Cry to the Lord that in his pure Fear we might be preserved unto the end and Gods Power was over all Blessed and Praised be his worthy Name forever and for ever more who is not wanting to his Faithful People but is their exceeding great Reward who hath Rewarded this our dear Friend and deceased Brother with a Blessing of Rest and Peace in that Kingdom that never has End and hath received him into the Bosom of his Love where he shall solice his Soul forever and forever This Innocent Man who had been a great Sufferer by them several ways too much here to mention he bore it all with Pacience and constantly frequented the Meetings of the Lords People called Quakers where he was a Strength to the Weak encouraging them to Faithfulness We may see a difference between the Death of the Righteous and the Death of the Wicked for this Innocent Man A. D. before mentioned upon his Dying-Bed often signified That he was satisfied that if he Dyed it would be well with him and it would be a happy Change for him Blessed be the Name of the Lord over all forever who is never wanting to his faithful People The Sufferings which A. D. under went did not starttle him but with Boldness and holy Confidence he bore his Testimony for the Truth and against his Persecutors unchristian Proceedings which was contrary to the Doctrine of Christ who said Whatsoever ye would that Men should do unto you do you the same to them And he often advised them to cease from Presecution and so eased his Spirit in clearing himself of them and left it at their Doors and left the Issue to the Lord who hath taken him out of the reach of all his Enemies and received him into that Rest which is Glorious where he shall solice his Soul in the Bosom of Divine Sweetness Endless Blessedness and Tryumph in Heavenly Glory forever and forever of which he had a living sence and feeling in his Life time Magnified forever be the worthy Name of the Lord for his Goodness to his People for he is an exceeding great Reward to them that Fear before him and put their Trust in him for the Righteous shall shine as the Stars forever and ever and their Memorial is Blessed but the Name of the Wicked shall Rot and they shall Perish forever like their own Dung as the Scriptures say and though many Men perceive not the difference between the Death of the Righteous and of the Wicked because both go down to the Grave in like manner It hath pleased God of his Mercy and Goodness to let us see a difference as is apparent by this our dear Brother A. D. whose Dying-Bed was made comfortable to him through the Comfort of Gods Love in and through Christ Jesus to his Soul as the Scripture saith The Righteous shall Sing for Joy of Heart when the Wicked shall Howl for Vexation of Spirit so in this Life the difference between the Death of the Righteous and the Wicked the Joy and Comfort of the one and the Sorrow and Misery of the other for the Righteous know and are assured that before they put off this House of Clay that they have a Habitation not made with Hands eternal in the Heavens and their Peace is sure with the Lord God through the Son of of his Love and that for evermore as this faithful Servant of the Lord before mentioned often gave Testimony of in the time of his Sickness of the assurance of his Peace with God whose living Presence did accompany him to his End as long as he could speak he made mention of it saying Often the Lords sweet Presence is with me beyond my expectation When I came first to see him he said He was freely given up in the will of God whether to Live or Dye and said if the Lord see it good to take me it will be well with me and it will be a happy Change for me and he was so filled with the Joy of Gods Salvation that he sung for Joy of Heart and Praised the Lord as with an heavenly Harp as one of them that stood before the Throne of God and the Lamb having the Harps of God in their Hands and they Sung a new Song before the Throne that none could learn but those that were Redeemed from the Earth My Soul was Refreshed to see and feel the heavenly frame of Spirit that he was in all along upon his Dying-Bed Another time when I came to visit him he took me by the Hand and said Thou hast been a Faithful Friend and a Help to me in the Truth all along and I have had a tender esteem for thee and all honest-hearted faithful Friends and that which I chiefly and most desired ever since I knew the blessed Truth of God was that the Lord would preserve me faithful to himself and his holy Truth unto the End and I bless his Name he hath been very good to me all along that nothing did discourage me in the time of Sufferings to weaken me but rather as Sufferings increased I was stronger and was freely given up according to my weak Capacity to answer the Lord and do that which I understood was right in his sight I could never speak much but desired to live to what I knew and the Lord hath accepted of it Praises to his Name and I can truly say that the only thing I aimed at in desiring this my dear Wife was that she might be helpful to me in the Truth and the Lord did make her a help to me I Bless and Praise his holy Name for his goodness to me on every account I said to him I am perswaded if the Lord see it best to spare thee and that it would make most for Gods Glory and thy Good the Lord will raise thee up again he said I believe the same And when his Relations put him upon it to send to some Physitian he answered no for I have that which is known to be good and approved Medicines and if these will not do me good I do not expect help from Man for if the Lord see good to take me to himself all the Men upon the Earth cannot keep me alive so I am given up in the will of the Lord He was gently visited with a Feavour not Violent nor complaining much of Pain nor Dryth but Weakness so he said to me when I came to visit him I asked him how he did he said Weak in Body but Strong in the Lord Weak in the outward Man but Strong in the inward Blessed and Praised be the Holy Name of the Lord forever And when he Slumbred as soon as he awaked his Mouth was opened with a Song of high Praises to the Lord and when the People came in to visit him he had a Word in season for them warning young People to fear God and watch against those things that did Corrupt Youth exhorting them to
