Now, Mr. Great-heart Was A Strong Man,

I Could Not Be Satisfied Unless Some Fruits Did Appear In My Work.

Then Said He, ’i Am Going To My Father’s; And Though With Great Difficulty I Am Got Hither, Yet Now I Do Not Repent Me Of All The Trouble I Have Been At To Arrive Where I Am. My Sword I Give To Him That Shall Succeed Me In My Pilgrimage, And My Courage And Skill To Him That Can Get It. My Marks And Scars I Carry With Me, To Be A Witness For Me That I Have Fought His Battles Who Now Will Be My Rewarder.’.... So He Passed Over, And All The Trumpets Sounded For Him On The Other Side.

God Speaks Once, Yea Twice, Yet Man Perceiveth It Not, In A Dream, In A Vision Of The Night, When Deep Sleep Falleth Upon Men, In Slumbering Upon The Bed. We Need Not, When Abed, To Lie Awake To Talk With God, He Can Visit Us While We Sleep, And Cause Us Then To Hear His Voice. Our Heart Oft-times Wakes When We Sleep, And God Can Speak To That, Either By Words, By Proverbs, By Signs And Similitudes, As Well As If One Was Awake

To Lay Hold Of And Receive The Gospel By A True And Saving Faith Is An Act Of The Soul That Has Been Made A New Creature, Which Is The Workmanship Of God... Wherefore Whoever Receiveth The Grace That Is Tendered In The Gospel, They Must Be Quickened By The Power Of God, Their Eyes Must Be Opened, Their Understandings Illuminated, Their Ears Unstopped, Their Hearts Circumcised, Their Wills Also Rectified, And The Son Of God Revealed In Them.

The Life Blood Streaming Thro' My Heart, Or My More Dear Immortal Part, Is Not More Fondly Dear.
