And assoon as ever the comforts of grace shine upon it those former tremblings of heart for grief are presently changed into leapings for joy just as the same wrinkles of the face which serve for crying when the heart is grieved serve for laughter when it is filled with joy This was the case of Mr Peacock in this manner he grieved in this manner he rejoyced and this happy issue God made of his bitter afflictions So that amidst the numerous and various afflictions of Gods dear Saints and Children this conclusion of the Prophet David remaines sure and firm Mark the upright man and behold the just for the end of that man is peace So I rest Thine in the Lord E.B. Mr PEACOKS Visitation MAster Peacock the servant of God in the beginning of his visitation for the space of two weeks and foure dayes was full of most Heavenly consolations shewing by sweet meditations and gracious ejaculations the entertainment he found with his God in his sicknes with whom he so much desired to be acquainted in his health We are saith one comming to visit him miserable comforters Nay saith he Ye are good for this is the priviledge even of Gods children that their very presence affords comfort Sometimes he craved pardon for his actions for the circumstances by them badly observed otherwhile he desired to have some matter given him to meditate upon Finally he said his hope was firmly setled on the rock Christ Iesus He hoped that the Lord would give him a place though it were in the lowest room of his Saints And he thanked God he had no trouble of conscience the Lord did not suffer Satan to vex him In so much that some seeing his great comfort feared left he would be overtaken with sorrow before his death he much rejoyced that the Lord had so disposed of him that he had seen his friēds in the Countrey Here first was his yeelding unto death suspected and his hoped recovery doubted Calling some of his friends aside I thought saith he I had been in a good estate but I see it now farre otherwise For these things my conscience layes against me First I brought up my scholars in Gluttony letting thē eat their fill of meat when they mealed with me This some endeavoured to pull out by putting into his minde 1. The preventing of many inconveniencies 2. His well known moderation 3. The great care he took for good conference when they were at table with him But saith he while I was talking they did undoe themselves And further I did unadvisedly expound places of Scripture at the table many times and for these I feel now a Hell in my conscience Again I have procured my own death by often eating like a beast when I came jostling up and down to my friends in the Countrey And now I see before my face those dishes of meat wherewith I clogged my stomack Well saith one to him If all the things you accuse your self of were undone would you doe them again Nay why then doubt not but a Reprobate would desire to be saved if a desire would serve the turne indeed he may have a desire but of bare willingnes not with an intent and purpose in using of the means Another time a worthy friend of his asking him how he did he cryed out Sinne Sinne Sinne What doth any lye on your conscience Yea. What My unconsideratenes I did eat too much of such meat to breakfast such a morning my self being an eye-witnes of his great abstinence could not choose but admire the tendernes of his self-accusing conscience Well said he God be thanked there is no greater As we must not extenuate our sinnes so neither must we too much aggravate our sinne Let drunkards and gluttons have those terrible horrours I thank God I never continued in any known sinne against my conscience He was willing that he should pray with him kneeling down he said he was then uncapable of prayers Afterward he kneeled down of his own accord shortly after he broke out into such speeches A damnable wretched c. these are nor your words saith one you cannot deny but you have had good experience of Gods mercies I cannot Then be comforted for whom he loveth once he loveth to the end Yet Satan took such advantage of his infirmities that though he could finde some comfort yet no particular assurance You have lived profitably said one I have endeavoured You are now humbled and the Lord looks that you should ask mercy M. Dod was sent for who being come they were private awhile afterwards we comming in to them M. Dod put him in minde of Gods kindenes whereof he shewed to him foure parts 1. To take small things in good part 2. To passe by infirmities 3. To be easily intreated 4. To be intreated for the greatest Sir there is now in you the image of the old Adam sin and sorrow there shall be in you the image of the new holines and happinesse The life to come may be set out by three things 1. The estate of itself happines holines and glory 2. By the the company every one shall love you better then any one even the best can love you here 3. The place There are three differences between the afflictions of the good and of the bad 1. In the cause for they come to the good for Gods love 2. In the measure as farre as they need and are able to bear 3. In the end for their good Of those former doubts we afterwards heard not a word from him Upon the Sabbath-day he desired to be alone after noon he was fearfully troubled In his countenance appeared evident tokens of a sorrowfull minde born up with a weak body his spirit was wounded Satan had foiled him Those his terrible wrestlings with tentations gripes of conscience and restles terrours none can understand much lesse expresse but he which felt them Satan had winnowed him and shewed him nothing but chaffe His tender conscience was goared with the fiery darts of the Devil pointed with the edge of sinne and sense of Gods heavy wrath As through a false glasse the dazled eye of his astonished and amazed soul could see nothing but hideously appearing sinne and the terrible image of death and damnation He had drunk deeply of the cup of the dreggs of Hell His adversary had represented unto him his once most gracious God now as a most severe Judge displeased angry and chiding with him yea yeelding him up into his clawes that so by this deadly stratagem he might take from him all hope of help that way and so not onely stop the sensible flowing of Gods grace and cut the chains of Gods love whereby he had tyed him and would draw him after him but finally break his Christian heart Oh that you had seen or that we that were present had had eyes to have seen his seeming forlone soul What with barkings of conscience and with the too heavy burthen of
