He has not allowed a fretting thought to vex me. O, I am a monument, a monument of the power of God! My trouble is great, but I am helped to bear it: and in so far, I am a martyr, as well as a witness. My great desire has been, for many years, to suffer for the truth of our religion; and now God has given me the greatest honour, to be a living witness to it, and a monument of it, that we 'have not followed cunningly devised fables.' I will be in heaven shortly; I will come there by the word of my testimony, and the blood of the Lamb. All is of grace; he has chosen me, called me, justified me, and sanctified me, by his grace: 'He gives grace and glory;' these are precious gifts.
