99. Mr. Jessey the last Night he lived cried out, Oh, the unspeakable Love of God! Oh, the vilest! Oh, the vilest! that he should reach me, when I could not reach him! And then rehearsing over and over, Blessed be that ever, ever, ever Blessed and Glorious Majesty! And when a Cor∣dial appointed for him was brought, Trouble me not, upon your own Peril, trouble me not. Then shewing his care for the Poor, Widows, and Fatherless, and desiring Prayers, and after∣wards repeating Acts 2.27. and calling for more Julip, more Julip (meaning more Scriptures) by and by he sang this Hymn:

Jerusalem, my heart's Delight, I come, I come to thee; Then shall my sorrows have an end, When I thy Joys shall see.

Then often repeating those words, Praises for ever: Amen, Amen. Praises to the Amen, for ever and ever, Amen. After a while he fell asleep, Sept. 4. 1663. aged 63. Mr. Collier, in his Life and Death, p. 94.
