But I know that my Redeemer lives and that he shall stand at the latter day v. 26. And though after my skin Worms destroy this Body yet in my flesh shall I see God. 1 Cor. 15.53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption and this mortal immortality v. 59. And then shall Death be swallowed up in Victory v. 55. O Death where is thy Victory Where is that Sting wherewith with thou wouldst piece me My Saviour has broken it After which she making a little pause did seem to fall asleep but presently turning her self towards the Lady her Mother with a chearful countenance said to her Dear Mother give me up to God again who thus long has lent me to you Whereupon the Lady her Mother lifting up her Eyes to Heaven with sighs and tears cry'd out O Heavenly Father into thy hands I commend both my self and this poor Child thou hast given me Make us I beseech thee partakers of thy holiness that we may be so of thy Happiness also THEN the Patient answer'd I know whom I have believed 2 Tim. 1.12 and am perswaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed to him against that day And looking on the Lady her Mother with a tender look she said to her upon occasion of a Dream she had Dear Mother give me to drink again of your Consolations Whereto the Lady her Mother answer'd It is the Lord shall do that for you my Child Aye replied she yet have I received some by your means also Then the Lady her Mother went on and said Isal 12.13 With joy shall you draw water out of the Wells of Salvation To which the Patient answer'd Tea verily I am drinking already of those Waters springing up into eternal life and my Cup does overflow Lord break this Vessel of Earth that the Treasure may appear which thou bast laid up in it Take unto thee again the Breath wherewith thou bast animated this my poor Body THE next night after she dream'd that she saw two Lamps fasten'd to Heaven which gave a most glorious Light and that at last one of them was caught up and hid in Heaven Which Dream she having told the Lady her Mother the next Morning she said to her My dear Child thou Virgin of Israel Mystical Bride go to meet thy Bridegroom with thy Lamp full of that Oyl thy Saviour has given thee Then the Patient cry'd out Father Luk. 23.46 into thy hands I comment my Spirit Yea I am now going to the Wedding of the Lamb who has married me to himself in his tender mercies and I shall sit down at his Table with Abraham Isaac and Jacob in the Kingdom of Heaven At which Conversation the Chaplain being present was going to conclude it with these words Well done Mat. 25.23 good and faithful Servant enter thou into the joy of thy Lord. But the Patient interrupting him cry'd out Oh! this Joy of the Lord is my joy adding That Mercy rejoyced against Judgement Jam. 2.13 in her behalf After this the Lady her Mother and one of her own Sisters who remain'd alone with her heard her most fervently pray to God and rehearse several Sentences of the 6.51 and 143. Psalms which she deliver'd either in Prose or Verse sometimes according to the Old and at other times according to the New Translation And thus applying her self to God with a Zeal beyond expression all her thoughts were now so rais'd that she felt such ravishing Joys as no Tongue can utter How happy am I repeated she often How surpassing is my Joy How can I express it It 's so great that is exceeds all comparison What thanks have I to return to my good God! You my dear Friends speaking to her Mother and Sister help me to ascribe the Glory due to his Name and to set forth his worthy Praise THE Lady her Mother seeing her in this happy condition call'd those in again who were gone out of the Room that they might be Witnesses of this her Joy and Consolation as they had been of her Sorrows She was at this time sitting up in her Bed with her hands joyned together and her Eyes lifted towards Heaven her looks being very lively and chearful and her countenance brisk though modest For the the space of six hours she spoke with a loud voice and did express much in few words using terms very emphatical to represent sometimes her Happiness and sometimes the Joy she was filled with interlacing her discourse with several Sentences both of the Old and New Testament which she utter'd so fast and fluently that it was impossible to remember them all and mixing her inspir'd thoughts with those written Dictates of the Holy Ghost sometimes made her address to our Lord for the Redemption he had vouchsafed to her and then again humbled her self before him At another time she congratulated her own happy state and lastly she return'd a thousand times her hearty thanks to God for the accúmulated favours she had receiv'd at his hand BESIDES She paraphrased several Chapters of the Holy Scripture as the 5th 8th and 12th of the Epistle of St. Paul to the Romans and the 17th of St. John's Gospel applying them to her self much after this manner My God there is now no condemnation to them that are in CHRIST JESUS I have therefore nothing to fear for I do with all my heart lay hold of his merits who is the Redeemer of the World. I am made free from the Law of Sin and Death which does no more at all affright me and I feel the Spirit of Eternal Life communicated to me by my Saviour Yea O my God I know I am one of thy Children since this thy Spirit so powerfully comforts me Arise my Soul and to th' Aimighty King Psal 104.35 Woodf Sprightly and chearful Hallelujabs sing Oh! how great is my happiness Rom. 8.15 who have not received the Spirit of Bondage but the Spirit of Adoption whereby I can call Him Father who is the Great God and Master of the World. Thou Holy Ghost shalt always bear witness to my Spirit that I am the Child of God and. Co-heir with Christ. Rom. 11.33 O the depth of the riches both of the Wisdom and Knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his Judgments and his ways past finding out v. 36. For of him and through

thy grace did superabound Therefore when thou say'st to me Psal 27.8 Seek thou my face my Heart shall ' answer thee Thy face Lord will I seek Yea O my God thou wilt very suddenly unvail it to me in thy Holy Paradise THEN she enter'd upon a most excellent Edifying Dialogue which is intended to be publish'd by it self with the Chaplain who protests she therein open'd his Understanding in a most wonderful manner and after that spoke to the Lady her Mother thus Dear Mother my Soul is possess'd with that Peace of God which passes all understanding The Lord has sought and found me O how good is my Lord and Saviour that He the Just One should have given himself for the Vnjust After which she rehearsed several sentences out of the 119th Psalm and namely these My soul faints for thy salvation Psal 119.81 but I hope in thy Word I am thine save me v. 94. for I have sought thy Precepts How sweet are thy words to my taste yea v. 103. sweeter than honey to my mouth Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path v. 105. Vphold me according to thy Word that I may live v. 116. and let me not be ashamed of my hope AND now reflecting upon her past sorrows and disquiets she cry'd with David Psal 31.22 I said in my haste I am cut off from before thine eyes nevertheless thou heardst the voice of my supplications when I cry'd unto thee Preserve me my undoubted aid Psal 16.1 Sandys To whom thou O my soul hast said Thou art my God no good in me Nor merit can extend to thee But to thy blessed Saints that dwell On Earth whose graces most excel To the safe path of Life direct my way v. 11. Woodford Thy presence where perpetual joys flow o're Whose pleasure spring for evermore By those clear streams let me delighted stay And melt away in love as well as they She often repeated Come ye blest Saints Psal 34.3 and let us rise Together with our Songs and reach the Skies Praise him who my first groan did hear v. 4. Yet with his hand seem'd to prevent his ear And when like mine v. 5. your troubles be But look to him that hand shall save you which help'd me And here she proceeded thus Who shall in thy Tent abide Psal 15. Sand. On the Holy Hill reside He that 's just and innocent Tells the truth of his intent Slanders none with venom'd tongue Fears to do his Neighbour wrong Fosters not base infamies Vice beholds with scornful eyes Honours those who fear the Lord Keeps though to his loss his word Takes no bribes for wicked ends Nor to use his money lends Who by these directions guide Their pure steps shall never slide THOV hast dealt graciously with thy servant Psal 119.65 O Lord according to thy word It is that word that gives wisdom to the simple therefore I will never forget it To this she added also divers other places of the Scripture and then meditating a little she said Now my fear is over Rom. 8.1 and with St. PAVL There is now no condemnation to me who am in CHRIST JESVS v. 33. Who shall lay any thing to the charge of god's Elect It is God that justifies v. 34. Who is he that condemns It is Christ that died yea rather that is risen again who is ever at the right hand of God making intercession for us Upon which the Chaplain taking occasion to tell her she had done like that prudent Merchant in the Gospel who sought for and bought that Pearl of Price she answer'd Aye 't is my Saviour has made me a Present of this invaluable Jewel For Sir is it not true that none can affirm JESVS to be the LORD but by the Holy Ghost and that none can love him but by the same Spirit It is even He that has put this Word into the mouth of his Hand-maid O the unutterable Comfort and Relief this Word administers to me It is you my dear Mother speaking to my Lady who taught it me you have so well instructed us and shewn us a good Example which I wish I had better improv'd By this you have procur'd our Family the favour of God whom I heartily pray to continue it and more and more increase his Blessings upon you and prosper all your ways To which discourse the Lady her Mother made this reply Dear Child these Instructions and edifying words you now utter I apply as so many Checks and Reproaches to my self for my not having perform'd my Duty in all respects as I ought to have done I pray god give me grace to do better for the future according to my Calling 1 Cor. 3.6 and as it is in vain that Paul plants and Apollos waters except God give the increase so I beseech him to prevent and bless my endeavours with his Divine Grace and Heavenly Benediction THE rest of that day and part of the following night also were spent in like Conversations But towards the morning the Patient took some little rest and as she awaked asked what a Clock it was To which they answering that it was upon the stroke of three she cry'd out O my God! shall the Sun shine once more upon my Sufferings Lord thou couldst if it were thy pleasure make this the Dawning of the Day of my Deliverance and Eternal Sabbath and then would I say with a holy transport of mind 2 Cor. 6.2 Behold now is the accepted time behold now is the day of Salvation UPON which the Lady her Mother said I hope every one of us shall once see that Day when we may say one to another Isal 60.20 Thy Sun shall go down no more for the Lord is an everlasting Light to thee and the days of thy mourning are ended ' Aye dear Mother answered she Yet a little while Heb. 10.37 and he that shall come will come and will not tarry This is the Day which he has made Psal 119.24 Woodf Hosanna's now befit our voice Come let us in our God rejoyce And in the Day which he has made be glad That be prosperity may send And to our troubles put an end Set open unto me the Gates v. 19. Old Transl Of Truth and Righteousness That I may enter into them The Lord's praise to express O Death thou that bring'st good tidings how welcome wouldst thou be to me by casting me into the Arms of my dearest Friend who has loved me before the foundation of the World THIS day she was visited again by one of her She-Friends who being come to her Bed-side express'd an extream sorrow to see her in this Condition and with that gave her her hand which the Patient squeezing in hers reply'd to her O my Dear did you but know the Divine Consolations my God has bestow'd upon me and how happy I am you
