my Tongue may never cease Praising thee And the Lord answered her Request All that Day she was wonderfully filled with the sweet Solace of the heavenly Life singing Praises and Hallelujahs to the Lord and spoke very much concerning the Lamb and his Followers which had washed their Robes and made them White in the Blood of the Lamb and towards the evening while the Power of the Lord was upon her there came in two Persons to see her and she uttered many precious heavenly Words which were not taken in Writing at which time these Words were spoken by her O what matter for fine Houses and silken Appearel and so went on above half an hour and with a very great weight upon her Spirit saying O Israel what hath thy God done for thee then uttering many deep weighty Words she said The Daughters of Sion are Haughty they go with their out-stretched Necks and their wanton Eyes uttering many more deep Words then taking up an inward Lamentation she said O what shall we do for the Daughters of Jerusalem After several Days lying in the sweet Solace and heavenly Life of the Lord in which time she uttered many heavenly things which were not taken in Writing she did express these Words O thou Beloved of my Soul what shall I say of thee for thou art too wonderful for me O Praises be unto thee O come all ye holy Prophets praise you the Lord with me O praise the Lord O my Soul upon the loud-sounding Instrument ye Glorious Angels you that excel in Glory sing praises to him that sits upon the Throne O how am I overcome Ye Stones in the Street why rise ye not up to praise him that lives forever O thou Light praise thou the Lord and thou Darkness praise and exalt him above all things forever O thou Son and Moon ye Stars in the Firmament of his Power magnifie the Lord above all forever O all ye Fishes in the Sea why come ye not forth to praise the Lord the mighty God who gives you Breath and Being I will praise thee my holy Lord God whilest I have any Breath O praise the Lord O my Soul sing praises to the God of my Salvation O my holy One my holy One thou hast overcome my Heart Ah! thou hast ravished my Soul My dear Mother I shall be as a new born Babe I shall be very simple but bear with me for the Lord is with me My dear Mother I must lay down this Body the Lord will not trust me longer in this wicked World happy am I my Saviour my Soul loves thee dearly thy love is better then Wine my Saviour my holy One how Glorious art thou I have seen thy Glory I am overcome my Heart is overcome with thy sweet Countenance O how lovely art thou I am ravished my Heart is ravished with thy innocent looks with the sweet smiles of thy glorious Countenance O come away come away why dost thou stay I am ready I am ready Then lying some time very still I heard her in a heavenly Harmony in which frame of Spirit she departed without either Sigh or Groan Joan Whitrow her Testimony concerning the Loving-kindness of the Lord. OH Lord Did I ever ask Riches or Honour of thee But I have asked Wisdom and Understanding for I said in my Heart The Marchandise of that is better than the Marchandise of Gold and Silver O Lord thou art that Wisdom my Soul asked which cometh from above that is first pure and then holy and thou art that Understanding my Heart sought for more than for hidden Treasures and did I ever ask Silver or Gold or Houses or Lands for my Childrens Portion but I have asked the Fear of the Lord for I know right-well if they had that they had all Treasures Ah! Glory Glory Glory be unto thee for what thou hast given me O my Soul doth magnifie the Lord my Spirit doth livingly rejoyce in the God of my Salvation who hath had regard to the low Estate of his Hand-maid Oh! what shall I render unto thee for all thy Mercies towards me but to stand continually upon my Watch-Tower and to keep in my Wards whole Nights that when my Lord comes in the second Watch or in the third Watch he may find me with my Loyns girded and my Light burning that so I may be ready in Body Soul Spirit to enter into the Joy of my Lord. Oh my Soul what hath the Lord been to thee here even a place of broad Rivers O the Height and Length the Depth and Breadth of the Love of God to my Soul in this State Oh! how hast thou come in and Supped with me and caused me to eat of the Banket that thou hadst prepared and caused me to drink of the Wine of thy Kingdom so that my Cup hath overflowed as it doth at this time in the remembrance of thy gracious Goodness what thou hast been to me in the day of Tryal and in the many Tribulations how thou didst set my Feet upon a Rock and didst establish my Goings Praises be unto thee and yet this was a small thing of thy glorious Goodness and bountiful Loving-kindness but thou hast also given my Children a Name amongst the Living and Crowned them with Eternal Life Oh Eternal Praises and endless Hallelujahs be given unto thee our everlasting Father Oh did I ever think in the day when thou led'st me down into the Deep that I should have thus beheld thy Wonders in this the day of thy mighty Power wherein thou hast returned me the Answers of my Petitions when I said unto thee Let my Children be thy Children otherwise I desire none for one Child in thy Fear O Lord is more to me than a Thousand in the Spirit of this World Then did thy Presence over-shadow me my Soul was sweetly solaced in thy Love Oh! then thou answered'st me and said I will be a Father to thy Children and a Husband unto thee Oh thou Faithful One who is a God like unto thee keeping Covenant with them that Fear thee for now thou hast performed thy Word unto thy Servant Glory be to thee forever Oh thou Holy One what hast thou done for me no Heart can conceive no Tongue can express the Riches of thy Love for thou hast given me my Children again in the Resurrection of thy most holy Life though their Tabernacle be gone to its place yet they live with me in the Spirit for our Communion is with the Holy One. And now O Lord what am I or what is my Family that thou shouldst shew this great Kindness to not unto me O Lord not unto me but unto thy Name be the Praise for what am I that I should offer up an Offering unto the Lord for out of the Willingness of my Heart have I offered my Children unto the Lord although my Children were as dear to me as my Life and I could have laid down my Life for theirs if
