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
