CHAPTER IV.
_Of his death._
1. ON _Wednesday, September 17_, (and some days preceding) he was under
great trouble of mind; and a friend asking him that morning, How he
had rested in the night? He answered, “Not well. I have been this night
sore tossed with the thoughts of eternity. I have been thinking on the
_Terribilia Dei_¹, and all that is difficult in death to a Christian.
All my enemies have been round about me. I had a great conflict, and
faith was like to fail. O that I may be kept now in this last trial,
from being an offence to his people!”
¹ _i. e._ The terrible things of God.
In the afternoon, when some of his brethren visited him, he said, “I
am but young, and of little experience, but this death-bed now makes me
old; therefore I use the freedom to exhort you to faithfulness in the
Lord’s work. You will never repent this. He is a good master. I have
always found him so. If I had a thousand lives I should think all too
little to be employed in his service.”
