Mr. Jenkyn's Letter to Mrs. Gourden on the 30th of September, 1685. at 4 Morning, Taunton.
Dear Sister,
THO you are at a great distance from mine Eye, yet you are very near my Heart, so that to leave the World before I have wrote a Line or two to bid you farewel, and comfort you under this sad Provi∣dence, would be uncomfortable to me: I hope you have by this time learnt how to welcom evil as well as good tydings, and submit to the wise disposer of all things, who knows what is good for us, better than we do for our selves: Tho I question not but the new•• of my Death, especially in such a violent manner, a•• within a few hours I am to suffer, it will be afflictive
descriptionPage 384
to you; yet I would beg you to consider the Happiness which I am gone to, but a few years sooner taken out of a wicked and troublesome World unto the quire of Triumphant Martyrs in Glory, which place of Hap∣piness, though I have not deserved by any thing of my own Merits, yet for the Merits of my Media∣tor and Saviour, who has purchased more for me, than can enter into my Heart to conceive, I doubt not but I have a Mansion prepared for me in that place, where the wicked cease from troubling, and the weary are at rest. And now, Dear Sister, I have nothing more to do in this World, but to be preparing and fitting my self for this place of rest, which within a few hours I am going to. I therefore leave you and yours to the protection and blessing of God, who is able to keep and Support you under this and all other his afflictive Providences, and bring a good issue out of them; and who will in his own good time con∣duct you safe to that place of happiness, where you will meet alone for Christ sake,
Dear, Dear Sister,
Your loving and affectionate Brother, WILLIAM JENKYN.
Pray remember my Love and Respects to my Brother, and all that enquire after me.
