But He Himself hath sealed your sufferings, and their thus saying condemns God, and His sealing condemns them.

I say, traitors; as some men live upon the reward of treachery, for their quiet and liberty; if it may be called a liberty, as it is redeemed with the betraying of the interest of Christ, and the blood of His people.

And now, this is the sweetest and most glorious day that ever my eyes did see.

And for yourself, whatever there has been either of sin or duty, remember the one and forget the other, and betake yourself wholly to the mercy of God and the merit of Christ.

Fear not; and the God of mercies grant a full gale and a fair entry into His kingdom, which may carry sweetly and swiftly over the bar, that you find not the rub of death.

It is long since I could have adventured on eternity, through God's mercy and Christ's merits; but death remained somewhat terrible, and that now is taken away; and now death is no more to me, but to cast myself into my husband's arms, and to lie down with Him.

Farewell, dearest friend, never to see one another any more till at the right hand of Christ.

I wish your increase in holiness, number, love, religion, and righteousness; and wait you, and cease to contend with these men that are gone from us, for there is nothing that shall convince them but judgment.

Now I am near to the getting of my crown, which shall be sure; for I bless the Lord, and desire all of you to bless Him that He hath brought me here, and makes me triumph over devils, and men, and sin: they shall wound me no more.

This is the most joyful day that ever I saw in my pilgrimage on earth.

Farewell all relations and friends in Christ farewell acquaintances and all earthly enjoyments farewell reading and preaching praying and believing wanderings reproaches and sufferings.

Farewell dearest friend never to see one another any more till at the right hand of Christ.
