And thus I have finished the Text; wherein you have beheld the bliss of the man that endureth temptation and loveth the Lord. But perhaps you will ask, Where is this man to be found? The truth is, such an one (like those Pearls called Unions, because found one by one) is very rare, but yet such there have been in all ages; and loe here the liveless dust of such a man, Mr Thomas Bowyer Merchant, of whom I can truly say, whilest he lived he loved the Lord, and endured temptation; and now he is dead, I justly hope, he is blessed with a Crown of life. |
