'Under great sufferings, sorrows, and oppressions I lay several weeks,' he writes in his Journal, 'whereby I was brought so low that few thought I could live. When those about me had given me up to die, I spoke to them to get me a coach to carry me to Gerard Roberts, about twelve miles off, for I found it was my place to go thither. So I went down a pair of stairs to the coach, and when I came to the coach I was like to have fallen down, I was so weak and feeble, but I got up into the coach, and some friends with me. When I came to Gerard's, after I had stayed about three weeks there, it was with me to go to Enfield. Friends were afraid of my removing, but I told them that I might safely go. When I had taken my leave of Gerard and had come to Enfield, I went first to visit Amor Stoddart, who lay very weak and almost speechless. I was moved to tell him "that he had been faithful as a man and faithful to God, and the immortal Seed of Life was his crown." Many more words I was moved to speak to him, though I was then so weak, I could scarcely stand, and within a few days after, Amor died.' That is all. Very simply he passes out of sight, having heard his comrade's 'well done':--this valiant soldier who renounced his sword. His name, AMOR, still holds the secret of his power, his silent patience, and of his victory, for 'OMNIA VINCIT AMOR.'

THE MARVELLOUS VOYAGE OF THE GOOD SHIP 'WOODHOUSE' _'In the 17th Century England was peculiarly rich, if not in great mystics, at any rate in mystically minded men. Mysticism, it seems, was in the air; broke out under many disguises and affected many forms of life.'--E. UNDERHILL, 'Mysticism.'_ _'He who says "Yes," responds, obeys, co-operates, and allows this resident seed of God, or Christ Light, to have full sway in him, becomes transformed thereby and recreated into likeness to Christ by whom the inner seed was planted, and of whose nature it is.'--RUFUS M. JONES._ _'Through winds and tides, one compass guides.'--A.H. CLOUGH._ _'Have mercy upon me, O God, for Thine ocean is so great, and my little bark is so small.'--Breton Fisherman's Prayer._ _'Be faithful and still, till the winds cease and the storm be over.' ...
