The Testimony of Phillip Dicker, Concerning Clement Lake.
A True Testimony and Account concerning the Life and blessed End of that Faithful Servant of the Lord Clement Lake; This I can truly say from a sence I had of him, that I believe he was one whose Meditation was on the Lord, Day and Night, for since I have been concerned to bear a Testimony for the Lord, I have had great Society with him; I have considered his solemn Carriage and weighty behaviour when he was in the Body and I have heard him speak of the many straights and conditions he had been in since first he believed that God did expect Worship and Service from him.
And further, I have this to say of our Friend Clement Lake, Deceased, that he was a Man wholly given up to answer the Mind and Will of the Lord; for I can truly say from a cer∣tain sence I had of him, that his Conversation was Heavenly, and that the Lord hath made his promise good unto him, as he did unto the Righteous in all Ages, and through the Faithfulness of him that hath promised, we are made as Witnesses of it, that his promise is fulfiled in us, by the Spirit of his dear Son Jesus Christ our Lord and Master, for so he is. And I being with C. L. and having had a certain knowledge that the Lord's Goodness lasted with him, and he in it unto the end of his Dayes, for which we can do no less then to return the Praise, Glory and Honour that is due unto the Lord, for his Mercy and Goodness bestowed upon his Peo∣ple. So he dyed the Death of the Righteous, and hath re∣ceived the Reward of the Faithful.
Phillip Dicker.
