Thomas Goodwin Jr. wrote of his godly father: In all the violence of [his fever], he discoursed with that strength of faith and assurance of Christ's love, with that holy admiration of free grace, with that joy in believing, and such thanksgivings and praises, as he extremely moved and affected all that heard him. He rejoiced in the thoughts that he was dying, and going to have a full and uninterrupted communion with God. "I am going," said he, "to the three Persons, with whom I have had communion: they have taken me; I did not take them. I could not have imagined I should ever have had such a measure of faith in this hour. Christ cannot love me better than he doth; I think I cannot love Christ better than I do; I am swallowed up in God." With this assurance of faith, and fullness of joy, his soul left this world.
