A Certain and True RELATION OF THE Heavenly Enjoyments AND Living Testimonies Of God's Love unto her Soul Participated of from the Bountiful Hand of the LORD and communicated to her in the time of her Weakness of Body Declared upon the Dying-Bed of SARAH the Wife of JOHN BECK of Dockrae in the County of Westmoreland who departed this Life the 13th Day of the 6th Moneth 1679. The Souls of the Righteous are precious in the Eyes of the Lord and they shall be had in Everlasting Remembrance Blessed are the Dead which dye in the Lord even so saith the Spirit for they rest from ther Labours and their Works follow them Rev. 14. 13. Printed in the Year 1680. A Testimony that Sarah Beck the Wife of John Beck did bear and signifie of the Love of God which she was sensible of when she was very Weak of Body and on her DYING-BED SHE continued seven Weeks and one Day after the Birth of her Daughter Sarah and all the time of her Weakness she was very patient and freely given up and resign'd to the Will of God often signifying She was Content whether to Live or Dye saying She had sweet Peace with God And on the First day at Night being the 3d of the 6th Moneth she was worse than before and in the Morning she grew very ill and weak so that it was thought that she had been gone and when she recovered she said She was Well I was very well if I had gone But after that she was raised by the mighty Power of God many times to praise and magnifie the Name of the Lord saying Oh thou pure God! Oh thou pure God! O thou blessed God! O my Saviour Honoured be thy Name Praised be thy Name Renowned be thy Name And when she had rested a little being very weak she desired of the Lord that she might praise his Name again before she departed out of this Tabernacle and the Lord by his Living Power did raise her up in a wonderful manner contrary to the Expectation of them that were with her and his Living Presence did surround her insomuch that she could not contain but brake forth into a sweet Harmony and fung Praises unto the Lord even to the rendring and breaking of the Hearts of several and true refreshing of the Souls of the sensible Ones that were with her who had true Unity with her yea she was so overcome with the Love of God and the Joy of that Endless Life into which she is now entered that she cryed forth aloud Magnifie the Lord O Magnifie the Lord O Magnified be thy Name O thou God of my Life Glory to thy Name thou Helper of Israel and said O Friends Praise the Lord O Praise him every one of you for surely Heaven is open I see God in his Glory O! he shines Friends do you not see how God shines O God! thou shinest in thy Beauty of Holiness O what a Light is here sure Heaven is open I see God on his Glorious Throne and his holy Angels And she sweetly praised the Lord and said O Lord thou hast satisfied my Soul I desired that I might Praise thee and thou hast satisfied me Honour Glory and Halelujahs unto thee O thou God of my Life Oh! I feel sweet Peace and great Joy Oh! the Joy that is laid up for the Righteous Oh! who would not but fear the Lord who would not but be faithful And she was taken ill again and was very Sick so that it was thought several times that she had been gone but the Lord again did raise her up and she would have said aloud O Lord O God! let me Praise thy holy Name once more before I depart out of this Tabernacle And the Lord did answer her earnest Desire and by his Eternal Power gave her Ability to Praise Magnifie and Glorifie his Holy Name as before to the refreshing and comforting of Friends that were with her and some that were no Friends in the Truth said Surely God was with her And she did often signifie what great Joy and Peace she felt saying Surely never greater Joy can be desired than what I now feel And at another time she said My Physician is come O God! thou art my Physician and thou hast Cured me I matter not for all the Physicians in the World for I believed in thee and thou hast Healed me And she said My Soul is near ready to be offered up unto the Lord as a Living Sacrifice And took her leave of her Husband and the rest of her Friends taking them by the hand and kissed them and bid them Farewel one by one saying with a chearful Countenance I am near going she said This sweet End will come it makes my heart glad when I remember my end It will be the Happiest Hour that ever came to me She remembred her Love to Friends and said I desire that Friends may be faithful And when it was thought that she was in great Pain and very Sick so that some said It was very hard she answered Nay it is very easie for the Lord sweetens it Oh! thou Glorious God thou hast satisfied my Soul I am filled with thy pure Presence O thou Keeper of Israel Praised and Magnified be thy holy Name forever for thou art Worthy and thy Mercies and Goodness are Endless O Righteous God! O who would not but Praise thee O that I may Praise thee while I have Breath and Being as indeed she did for even at the hour of her Departure she praised the Lord very sweetly and said Call in the Family they being called in Now said she Rejoyce Friends and reached forth her hand to her Husband and holding him by the hand made sweet Melody in her Heart to the Praise and Honour of the Lord and to the great Comfort of Friends that were with her and said Dear God several times together being very Weak what shall I render unto thee for this Evening Sacrifice And so went on in Prayer and Praising the Lord till her natural Strength failed and then turned her face to the Pillow and lay still like an innocent Lamb as indeed she was and said no more even as if she had fallen a sleep being the 13th of the 6th Moneth 1679. in the Evening Many other sweet and comfortable Words she spake which cannot be remembred to the full but as she lived an innocent Life so was her Latter end comfortable and she hath laid down her Head in Perfect Peace with the Lord her Maker and Redeemer Well the Lord shall have the Praise the Honour and the Glory over all and not any Creature for he is worthy as she hath often said both in her Health and also in her Sickness for she would alwayes lay the Creature Low and God to have the Glory of his own Work who is worthy blessed over all forever And in the time of her Weakness several came to see her that were not Friends before whom she was moved

up for the Righteous And in all the time of her weakness of Body she was very patient and freely given up to submit to the Will of God saying O Lord I will wait upon thee with patience till my Change come for surely thou art worthy to be waited upon Oh thou God of my Life Oh that I may Praise thee while I have Breath and Being Yea that was her earnest desire both for her self and others both in her Health and Sickness as indeed I with several more was a Witness that she had her desire granted for even at the Hour of her departure she Praised the Lord very sweetly and the last Words that she uttered were in Prayer unto the Lord and in praising of his Holy Name and so passed away quietly as if she had fallen asleep And now although I with many more unto whom the Lord made her Serviceable am sensible of a great want of her yet of this I do conclude that though it be our Present Loss it is her Everlasting Gain So unto the Lord do I desire to commit my Cause who is able to supply all our Wants and to make hard Things easie as we truly eye him and have our whole Dependance upon him who is God over all blessed forever Now what I have here written concerning my dear Sister the Lord knows my Heart it is notin the least to set her up above her place as if she had been able to do any thing of her self but as the Lord did enable her as she often confessed unto the Lord That of her self she was not able to do anything but all her Help and Ability was in the Lord alone So unto him be the Praise over all and not unto any Creature for there is none that can perform any acceptable Service unto the Lord but as he enables them therefore unto him be the Honour and Praise of his own Work forever Agnes Gardner This is my Testimony concerning Sarah Beck THat I travelled with her in her Exercise both in her Health and in her Sickness and her Desire was That all might be Faithful to what was made manifest unto them and in the time of her Weakness of Body I can truly say That I was sensible of her Exercise and did bear a share with her and said several times to her That I did believe that the Lord would turn it to her Joy whether it was to live or dye and when the Time came that the Lord comforted her I can truly say I was comforted with her and so I can truly say that I had such Unity with her that that which was her Joy was my Joy and that which was her Sorrow was my Sorrow So I can bear witness what is above-written for I was much conversant with her in the time of her Weakness ELIANOR DICKINSON PEACE is sown for the Righteous and Joy and Gladness for the Upright in Heart they are certainly Blessed and truly Happy who answer the holy Call of God by pure Obedience as this our beloved Sister hath done for she chose the Truth to be her Path and her Delight was in it even from a Child and as she grew in Years so she grew in the Truth and by Faith therein was a true Witness of God's heavenly Word of Power manifested in her Bosom by the Virtue of which her Soul was made alive by Christ who is the Light the Life the Power by which she came to be reconciled to God again and so became a true Witness of his Name and Saving Health and therein did extol his Praise and magnifie his Power as she hath often sweetly done not only in her Health but also in her Sickness to the Refreshment of many and as she lived an Innocent Harmeless Life she being of a mild Lamb-like Disposition so she ended her Dayes in Innocency and being Redeemed from the Earth laid down her Head in Peace and though her outward Body be gone to the Dust from whence it came yet her Spirit is ascended to God that gave it and her living Testimony and good Savour that she hath left remain as Comfortable Memorials upon our Minds desiring That we may so live and so finish our Course as she hath done knowing that all who endure to the End shall be saved So being satisfied and perswaded that many Friends are of the same Faith and Belief concerning her I rest with this Testimony in my Heart which is here expressed Robert Barrawe My Testimony concerning my dear Sister Sarah Beck is THat she was an Innocent Woman and from her Childhood till her Dying-day she alwayes minded good things for when she was a Child she had an Eye to God that she did not offend him and loved good Friends well and as she grew up in Years so she grew in the Truth of God alwayes desiring the Prosperity thereof so that her Diligence exceeded many of her Equals in Years and the Lord was with her and she grew in the Truth and he put his Word in her Mouth and she faithfully declared it as the Lord required her whether as in a Publick Testimony amongst Friends or otherwise to warn People to Repent and Turn unto the Lord to whom he did send her and she was faithful in all things as the Lord gave her Utterance for she was but a weak Instrument but as the Lord was her Strength unto whom she would alwayes return Praise for he alone was Worthy for it was the Glory of God that was most in her Mind and she was wholly given up to serve him in all his Requirings and his pure Fear was truly placed in her Heart so that when the Lord did visit her Body with Weakness and as she grew Weaker outwardly so was her Strength renewed 〈◊〉 and she grew stronger and stronger in God so that 〈◊〉 cryed aloud when she was very weak of Body so that she was ready to faint away as to outward appearance and Praised and Magnified the Name of the Lord as is testified in the foregoing Testimonies and often exhorted Friends to Faithfulness I was often with her in the time of her Sickness and I was well refreshed with her for when her Sickness did but a little abate then she would be Praying and Praising the Name of the Lord often signifying to us what Joy and Peace she did feel to the Satisfaction of her Immortal Soul and to the great Comfort of us her Friends who had sweet Unity with her and although it was a great Exercise to us her near Relations to part with her being a living Instrument in the hand of God by which we were well refreshed many a time yet we can certainly say to the Joy of our Hearts That it is her Everlasting Gain and she hath laid down her Head in Perfect Peace for I can truly say That I am often well refreshed and comforted in the Remembrance of her my dear Sister Well the Lord gives Life and Breath and takes it away when he pleases for he is Worthy forever blessed be the Everlasting Name of our God for he is Rich in Mercy and Endless in Loving-kindness O! that we may alwayes dwell low before God and return him Living Praises over all for he alone is Worthy saith my Soul Thomas Gardner THE END
