but he that enioyes him yet the inward ioy of his saluation sent forth as Austen speakes of the Egyptians quasdam eiaculationes certaine winged darts vnto Heauen His heart was like a Furnace and his words though short were as so many sparkes of deuotion I haue a relation from his Chaplaine to whom in priuate hee disclosed the burden of his conscience His bodie being decayed with age and wearied with sicknesse our Aduersarie who is a seeking Lion sought to deuoure him His priuate confession shewed the particularitie of his temptation The Deuill presents to his melancholy fancie the power of Witches tempting him to conceiue that for his sinnes God had forsaken him and giuen him ouer to the malice of Sorcerers striuing to make him thinke that this his weaknesse and sicknesse was hot a defect of nature but an effect of Satan Thus was our good Earle winnowed but he that prayed for Peter prayed for Henrie that his faith might not faile And faile it did not Gods Spirit brought vnto his memory the mercie of God to Dauid repenting the power of God against Balaams cursing and now he found the comfortable fruit of reading the Scriptures in them he found Balme of Gilea● comfort and consolation against the power of hell and darknesse Hee concluded an humble confession with a firme resolution that God would bee mercifull as to Dauid that God would bee powerfull against Balaam that God would not forsake him notwithstanding his sinnes that hee would not forsake God notwithstanding his sicknesse If any man d●m●und and say Is this the peace of Simeon where there is such temptation I answere that peace is the end of a combate In that soule where there is no spirituall cōbat there is no spirituall peace For as wee teach against the Church of Rome that our faith is not swallowed vp of doubting So wee teach according to truth that a true faith is troubled with doubting When a man considers his owne demerits then hee iustly doubts of mercy when a man considers Christ his merits hee firmely trusts in Gods mercy As in a battaile all the time of the skirmishing there is doubt But when the enemie flyes and is put to rout then there is no doubt So in the soule all the while the Deuill flings his fiery darts there is doubt but when hee is conquered by the sword of the Spirit then there is no doubt As therefore you reade of the Poole of Bethesda First the Poole was troubled and then the sick were healed so this noble Earle first felt a troubled spirit to trie him and then the ioy of the holy Spirit to comfort him And surely it was the holy Spirit for it neuer left him after it had found him The last words that euer man heard him speake were three Amens to his Chapleins prayers concluding his life as the holy Ghost doth the Scripture Amen Reuel 22. 20.
