To the Ministers in this Reformation both in the County of KENT and elsewhere in the Kingdome who have not yet laid down the mixtures and superstitious formes in the pure worship of GOD SIRS SOme of you know the meetings we have had with this deceased Brother and the purpose still of all our disputings as your selves well know ended only in this that you would lay by the formes in practise and strengthen the hands of our godly brethren in the Reformation but we could not prevaile upon you either our Arguments were too weak or your corruptions too strong my fellow Ministers in these Arguments were Mr. Sheifield of Turnbridge in Kent Mr. Marshall Minister Mr. Steed Minister in the same County godly and faithfull men but now you may heare an Argument stronger then ours the words of your dying brother which I had concealed from the world had not the Lord sent down a beam from heaven into the deceased to give testimony against these mixtures and corrupt formes And what am I that I should withstand God And here I am sorry that you were not present to have seen and heard you might have seen one whom you knew well speaking with a power more then his own For it was not he that spoke but our heavenly Father which spoke in him you might have seen the picture of one in another world a copy of the Resurrection as if God had raised him from the grave to bear witnesse unto the truth you might have heard such expressions as are not to be heard from Pulpits words that were spirited more then ordinary as one having authority and not as the Scribes and here I shall repeat them but that heavenly accent they had from him I cannot my prayer is that this paper may breath out his last speeches so effectually to the world that all but those whom neither the Arguments of the living nor dying can convince may be perswaded to go to the fountain of living waters and only to him who hath the words of eternall life His sicknesse at first was rather an indisposition of body yet it weakened him in a little time and prevailed every day upon him he had some better dayes which he thought to be symptomes of recovery I did visit him sometimes and I found God had sanctified his sicknesse and he cast out some words to me of improving himself more in the wayes of God and the power of godlinesse on the last day of his sicknesse I went to see him by meer a Providence found him in bed he was slumbering and when I spoke to him he returned me this answer That he had called for a blessing and now would apply himself to rest for he thought the danger of his feaver was over so I left him for that time but I had not been an houre from him when word came to me that he called for me when I came I found him sate up in the bed and speaking very strongly his understanding clear and apprehensive his memory firm and faithfull his senses active and waking his speech sounding not like a voice in this world and thus he spake in the presence of divers Master Kayes his severall speeches YOu see here a dying man I know I must die I shall only live till morning you may conceive what you will but it is all in vain I shall continue thus as you see me till morning but I shall then die oh I shall go down to the grave and be no more oh I shall die I shall go to the earth I am not here to live let me die oh my sins are great oh Lord Jesus receive me Justice sayes smite Mercy sayes no my delights and pleasures in the week day soon wasted what I had thought on in the Lords day and resolved I resolved if God had spared me life to have gone on in a more holy way then I have done I have not gone on throughly with the word of God if the Lord had spared me life I would have shewed them the grounds I trusted too much to my own memory I have not used the communion of Saints here but Lord thou hast many to save thou mayest cast me off as a poor stinking Goat but Jesus Christ is willing to receive those that come to him but I have no full assurance yet but what do I talk of conscience a poor vile wretch as I am Yet Christ Jesus the righteous he is willing to receive I had resolved to have gone on in the power of godlinesse and have laid the foundation of godlinesse but God hath cut off my thread of life and I shall be no more but now Satan is vanquished the blood of Jesus Christ hath drownd my sins and will swallow them up God doth hold in my soul yet free grace nothing but Iesus Christ my soul shall rest with the spirits of just men I have loved Disputes that did not profit now the daughters of musick cease and they that look out of the windows begin to grow dark Wife reade the Scriptures more I have put them off sometimes do not use your fathers forms go on in the power of godlinesse nothing but the power of godlinesse Master Salmarsh I desire not the pomp of a funerall Sermon but that you will tell my people of the power of godlinesse and stir them up and quicken them to it see that a godly and faithfull Pastour come after me and that he come in the rightway Divers prayers he intermingled with these speeches and he prayed with me and at the last prayer made with him he said my soul is exceedingly comforted the Lord hath spared my life to be comforted thus in prayer here I left him resting and towards morning he drew neerer the grave and said to some about him they would not let him go the right way but would have him on the left hand to heaven a good warning to some then neer him who may do well to
