Divine contemplations, and spiritual breathings of Mr. Henry Dorney

1669. To S. M. N^o 102.

AFter much languishing Weakness, the Lord was pleased to remove hence by Death Mr. H. D. much lamented by many. He gave good evidence of his Interest in the unchangeable Covenant before his last Change came; and so left a good savour be∣hind him. We have enjoyed much freedom here for some time, but what times we are reserved for, we know not; but our times are in God's hand, who seems to call upon us all, to remember that this World is not our resting place, and therefore we are still to prepare for fresh difficulties; and the hurries and uncertainties here below should be as a Spur in our sides, to our motion towards the Land of Rest, and that purchased and promised Freedom, for which the whole Creation groaneth. Blessed are those dis∣quiets that rouze the Soul thither for true Rest and Ease. The Lord help us, among all other business here, to mind Eternity, and be always ready; that whensoever God please to summon us hence by Death, it may not be as an uncomfortable Surprize, &c.
