NOw after I had received these Papers, though not through little straits and difficulty, with jeopardy of my precious Life, which my God sweetly through all preserved, Glory to his Name: my heart was, as it were, overcome with the loving-kindness and salvation of the living Lord, and in his savory Life my mouth was filled with thanksgiving and praises to my God; and I said in my heart on this wise, Who am I, O Lord, or what was my Father's House, or what is the Land of my Nativi∣ty, that I (a poor: afflicted and despised Worm) should be raised up to see and perceive what mine eye, mine eye in thy Eternal Power and pure Life beholds! Oh my God! thou hast known the inno∣cent travel of my Soul, which I right-well know the same is not hid from thee, even from the day of my birth, unto this mo∣ment, through no small trials and tribu∣lations, and through the exercise of mani∣fold temptations; yet behold, my Life is preserved at this time: And Oh, my heart, my mind, my soul, my spirit, in thy pure undefiled Life and Vertue, blesseth thy

Name, thy pure Name, which thy Virgins love and live in, and in the same they glorifie thy Beloved, and the Wings of thy Majesty overshadoweth them; and their delight is under the secret shadow of thy Almightiness, blessed be thy Glory, bles∣sed be thy undefiled Power, blessed and magnified be thy pure Wisdom, and let the same be so even in the Tabernacles of the Just for ever. Thou Lamb of Immor∣tality, the Thrones, the Kingdoms, and Eternal Dominions are thine, and over all thy Throne is, and shall be exalted, and thy Lambs behold thy Glory and thy Ma∣jesty, in this the day of thy terrible and glorious ••ppearance: Wisdom, Riches, Glory, Power, Might and Dominion ever∣lasting (with Eternal Salvation) over all, to thy Name, Amen, saith my spirit, in the Life which is, was, and for ever shall be, the same which liveth and abideth for e∣ver, and fadeth not away: In the same I commend thy dear tender Lambs, to be preserved according to the unsearchable Wisdom and Counsel of thine own heart, to thy everlasting Renown and Glory, and their Eternal comfort and joy, and felicity, with thy Saints and Angels in the Light of thy Countenance, and in everlasting re∣membrance

in the powerful and Eternal Kingdom of Immortality, if I be no more in this World, when this body is gone to its place, according to thy Eternal Purpose and Decree, in thy Eternal Counsel; so be it, saith my spirit, yea and Amen saith my soul, which blesseth and magnifieth thy Eternal Name, inasmuch as thou hast so far fulfilled thy (living) Word of Pro∣phesie, and not only so, but much more al∣so in the desire of my heart, in the behalf of thy dear, tender, suffering, and long-suffering Seed of thine own Bowels; for which be innumerable Praises, Wisdom, Salvation, Glory and Dominion to thy ho∣ly Name, Amen, Amen.
