to be forgotten day and Sentence on the fifth of July against my dear friend Truly could not I appeal to God who knoweth all things what the intention of my heart was thinking I might rather do you good than hurt knowing one had gone before me and fearing he had much wronged you made me willing to testifie what I did being told and informed it would do you good and not hurt being but Misprision at the most I say were it not for the testification in mine own conscience I were not able to bear up my spirit but should I fear even sink under the burden But when I consider to whom I now write who I know is full of charity and doth believe what I say and will forgive what wrong I have done him and I hope will pray for me to your God and my God to your Father and my Father that he will not lay this to my charge for you may charge me to be as one of those Paul chargeth in 2 Tim. 4.16 And deer Sir If the Lord will be pleased to let me see your face once more that I may open my self to you I hope I shall stand right in your affections Some promises I have met withall in the word that do methinks add wings to my faith that God will not suffer you to fall by the hands of violence as in Psal 79. Psal 91. Psal 94. Psal 3. Isa 41.10 Isa 66.5 and many others that I know you are better acquainted with than I am and can beat them out and lay them by you as a glass of cordiall water for fainting times But dear Sir let me earnestly beg of you that you will use what means you can for your own preservation and go as far as you can in your Petition to them in whose power your life is for many reasons As first Because if you shall fall O! how would the enemies rejoyce Malignants and others would make songs at your death and say Where is all his Fastings and Prayers His God will not help him Oh Sir it would be a day of reproach and blasphemy And secondly Consider how would it sadden the hearts of Gods people and make them wring their hands if they should miss the fruit of their prayers in your deliverance which I am confident have been poured out in an extraordinary way for you And thirdly Consider the service you may yet do in the Church of Christ How many souls may God make you instrumentall to bring home to Christ And what service may yet this poor bleeding Nation have by your life And fourthly I need not remember you of your dear and precious Consort who I am confident is dear in the heart of God and also to you and her life even bound up in yours and her condition being as it is And then I humbly beg you will consider my condition for surely in that day I should hear of your life being violently taken away mine would be but little comfort to me being instrumentall in taking yours away although the Lords knows not intentionally but accidentally Therefore for these reasons I humbly beg of you again and again that you will do what you dare and go as far as you can for your preservation and the Lord will make you instrumentall for his glory if not here yet in some other place and methinks where ever the Lord cast you I could willingly make that promise and perform it that Ruth made to Naomi and so I am confident could my dear wife whose heart I know bleeds for you and her eyes run down with tears to God for you Good Sir in your addresses remember me to God that I may learn to lean upon him more firmly and rely upon the Rock of Ages and not upon broken reeds And I hope through the strength of Christ and the supply of your prayers I shall be better fortified for the time to come as Peter was after his fall I would fain be remembred to my good friend Dr Dr. I hope I have got better armour of proof than I had before but I hope there will be no need of shewing it about him For poor Po. he hath wronged himself more than any man can for I hear he hath sent more Papers of his confession since he was there Good Sir I have many things more to say but will not presume to be more burdensome to you at this time Will the Lord let me see your face once more here I hope he will However it will not be long before we shall enjoy one another in that place where violent hands shall not touch us and then eternity shall be little enough to praise and magnifie the Lord for his riches of mercy he shews to us The Lord stand by you The Lord preserve you and put his everlasting arms under you and deliver you Which shall be the earnest groans and sighs of him who is he hopes a dear yet a most unworthy Friend not worthy to be look'd upon by you Dr. Drake's Letter to Mr. Love Dear and precious friend I Cannot but congratulate your liberty and the singular honour God hath laid upon you The Captain of our salvation is wise and knows whom to call out for his Champion He hath pleased to call you to the forelorn-hope we are leading up the van our brethren in the black bill are like to bring up the body and for our rear blessed be God we have armies of prayers and tears yea through mercy we may say Our righteousness goes before us and the glory of the Lord shall be our reward Isa 58.8 Well might we fear had we not a good God a good Cause and a good Conscience but where God justifies who shall condemn Certainly that God who hath done us so much good by a prison blessed be his name can do us much more good by our tryall He bids us not fear them who at worst can but kill the body and why should we be afraid of man that shall dye c. and forget the Lord our Maker yea our Redeemer It s too much honour God laies upon us to suffer any thing for his Name and Covenants sake that hereby we are so indeared in the hearts of his Faithfull people and have been occasions to blow up the spirit of prayer that was almost exstinct Will not God incline his ear when he hath prepared the heart Did he ever set his children a begging but he had a boon for them I need not stir up your Christian resolution but desire rather to light my candle at your Lamp Yet when lately I looked upon Rev. 2 3.
