         EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.
         EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).
         The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.
         Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.
         Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.
         Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.
         The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.
         Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

           doth
           no
           longer
           manifest
           himself
           to
           Men
           in
           this
           manner
           of
           Revelation
           ;
           yet
           she
           was
           so
           struck
           with
           what
           she
           had
           dream'd
           ,
           that
           she
           could
           not
           forbear
           imparting
           it
           to
           her
           Husband
           .
        
         
           They
           both
           found
           the
           Dream
           was
           very
           Important
           ,
           by
           the
           two
           Feathers
           of
           the
           Eagle
           ,
           pluck'd
           from
           their
           natural
           place
           ,
           and
           by
           the
           Voice
           ,
           which
           told
           what
           they
           represented
           :
           The
           one
           of
           them
           seeming
           to
           them
           to
           mean
           ,
           that
           the
           Son
           that
           was
           to
           be
           born
           ,
           should
           be
           separated
           from
           them
           of
           whom
           he
           should
           be
           born
           ,
           and
           that
           he
           should
           have
           the
           swiftness
           of
           an
           Eagle
           in
           carrying
           the
           Gospel
           thither
           where
           he
           was
           to
           preach
           it
           ;
           and
           the
           other
           Feather
           seeming
           to
           them
           to
           signify
           that
           this
           Son
           should
           be
           pluck'd
           out
           of
           the
           World
           ,
           in
           sealing
           with
           
           his
           own
           Blood
           the
           Gospel
           which
           he
           should
           Publish
           .
           After
           these
           Reflections
           they
           both
           concluded
           ,
           that
           it
           was
           requisite
           to
           write
           down
           the
           Dream
           in
           a
           Register
           ,
           wherein
           the
           Father
           wrote
           down
           every
           considerable
           thing
           that
           passed
           in
           his
           Family
           .
           And
           they
           did
           it
           that
           they
           might
           the
           better
           remember
           it
           in
           all
           its
           Circumstances
           ,
           and
           to
           see
           in
           process
           of
           time
           ,
           whether
           it
           would
           be
           accomplish'd
           in
           its
           parts
           .
        
         
           The
           thing
           was
           done
           before
           the
           Child
           was
           born
           ;
           and
           he
           was
           no
           sooner
           born
           ,
           but
           the
           Father
           and
           Mother
           ,
           remembring
           the
           Dream
           ,
           and
           what
           they
           had
           wrote
           down
           concerning
           it
           ,
           design'd
           to
           bread
           up
           this
           Child
           in
           Learning
           ;
           and
           according
           to
           that
           Design
           which
           they
           had
           form'd
           ,
           they
           caused
           him
           to
           study
           in
           his
           Childhood
           .
           This
           Child
           have
           made
           a
           Progress
           in
           his
           Studies
           ,
           in
           that
           of
           the
           Tongues
           ,
           and
           that
           of
           Philosophy
           ,
           he
           entred
           on
           the
           Study
           of
           Divinity
           ;
           in
           which
           having
           made
           a
           great
           Prosiciency
           in
           a
           few
           Years
           ,
           after
           sufficient
           Trials
           of
           his
           Understanding
           and
           his
           Gifts
           in
           divers
           probationary
           Sermons
           ,
           and
           many
           Prayers
           ;
           in
           which
           he
           shew'd
           an
           extraordinary
           Zeal
           ,
           enough
           to
           warm
           the
           coldest
           Hearts
           ,
           and
           to
           animate
           the
           most
           languishing
           ones
           ,
           he
           resolved
           to
           present
           himself
           to
           the
           Synod
           of
           his
           Province
           ,
           that
           he
           might
           be
           employed
           in
           the
           work
           of
           the
           Ministry
           ,
           to
           which
           he
           had
           been
           design'd
           ,
           and
           for
           which
           the
           Lord
           had
           prepar'd
           him
           .
           But
           he
           was
           hindred
           from
           so
           doing
           by
           the
           Persecution
           which
           was
           there
           raised
           up
           against
           our
           Churches
           :
           For
           then
           there
           was
           no
           longer
           any
           liberty
           of
           assembling
           themselves
           in
           a
           Synod
           ;
           and
           the
           Persecution
           continually
           encreasing
           ,
           and
           spreading
           it self
           every
           day
           like
           a
           Torrent
           ,
           the
           Temples
           were
           demolished
           ,
           Exercises
           forbidden
           ,
           all
           the
           Pastors
           banish'd
           ,
           and
           the
           Edicts
           of
           
             Christian
             Liberties
          
           abolished
           .
           However
           all
           this
           could
           not
           beat
           him
           off
           ;
           God
           and
           his
           Conscience
           supplying
           the
           want
           of
           the
           Synod
           ;
           call'd
           him
           to
           the
           Functions
           of
           the
           Ministry
           ;
           he
           followed
           this
           Calling
           ;
           and
           his
           Resolution
           was
           in
           the
           following
           it
           not
           to
           quit
           France
           ,
           when
           all
           the
           Pastors
           departed
           whom
           the
           King
           had
           banished
           thence
           .
           He
           formed
           a
           design
           to
           tarry
           there
           to
           preach
           the
           Gospel
           to
           those
           that
           knew
           him
           ,
           and
           had
           made
           a
           Profession
           of
           it
           ,
           that
           he
           might
           confirm
           those
           among
           them
           that
           stood
           in
           the
           midst
           of
           the
           great
           Efforts
           of
           the
           Persecution
           ,
           and
           to
           raise
           up
           those
           that
           were
           fallen
           through
           the
           Violence
           of
           Temptation
           .
           In
           pursuit
           of
           this
           Design
           he
           went
           to
           Montauban
           ,
           believing
           that
           there
           would
           be
           a
           great
           Harvest
           ;
           but
           having
           found
           the
           City
           wholly
           given
           to
           Idolatry
           ,
           after
           St.
           
           Paul's
           Example
           ,
           
             He
             was
             greatly
             troubled
             in
             Spirit
             ,
             and
             shook
             off
             the
             Dust
             of
             his
             Feet
             against
             them
             .
          
           Thence
           he
           went
           to
           Milhau
           in
           Rovergne
           ;
           but
           
           seeing
           that
           City
           had
           followed
           the
           Example
           of
           that
           of
           Montauban
           ,
           he
           went
           thence
           to
           go
           to
           St.
           Affrique
           ,
           where
           he
           had
           some
           Kindred
           ,
           among
           whom
           he
           hoped
           to
           find
           some
           place
           of
           Refuge
           ;
           which
           obliged
           him
           to
           go
           and
           seek
           out
           a
           certain
           Person
           at
           
             Pont
             de
             Camares
          
           ,
           where
           he
           stay'd
           a
           few
           Days
           ,
           but
           whence
           he
           was
           forced
           speedily
           to
           depart
           for
           want
           of
           Hearers
           ,
           and
           by
           those
           Straits
           to
           which
           he
           was
           reduced
           .
           Having
           departed
           from
           this
           place
           ,
           he
           knew
           not
           whither
           to
           go
           ,
           nor
           where
           to
           lay
           his
           Head.
           He
           found
           there
           were
           Snares
           every
           where
           ;
           and
           we
           need
           not
           doubt
           but
           then
           ,
           not
           knowing
           what
           to
           do
           ,
           he
           lifted
           up
           his
           Eyes
           to
           God
           ,
           and
           made
           this
           Prayer
           to
           him
           .
        
         
           
           
             Though
             with
             sharp
             Griefs
             my
             Soul
             surrounded
             be
             ,
          
           
             Thou
             know'st
             how
             from
             those
             Straits
             to
             set
             me
             free
             .
          
        
         
           It
           was
           the
           Prayer
           that
           David
           made
           when
           he
           was
           reduced
           to
           a
           care
           ,
           pursued
           by
           the
           rage
           of
           Saul
           ;
           and
           which
           a
           Holy
           Man
           of
           our
           Age
           made
           ,
           contending
           for
           the
           interest
           of
           our
           Religion
           ,
           and
           finding
           himself
           environed
           on
           all
           sides
           with
           Enemies
           that
           pursued
           him
           ,
           not
           knowing
           where
           to
           meet
           with
           a
           place
           of
           refuge
           .
        
         
           This
           faithful
           imitator
           of
           the
           Fidelity
           of
           the
           Prophet
           ,
           and
           of
           the
           resignation
           of
           this
           Confessor
           of
           Jesus
           Christ
           ,
           being
           reduced
           to
           their
           condition
           ,
           did
           not
           want
           the
           same
           Dispositions
           ;
           he
           left
           himself
           ,
           like
           them
           ,
           to
           the
           Providence
           of
           God
           ,
           being
           assured
           that
           that
           would
           open
           some
           passage
           for
           him
           ,
           and
           direct
           him
           to
           find
           some
           retreating
           place
           .
           Providence
           immediately
           answered
           his
           Desire
           and
           his
           Hope
           ;
           for
           presently
           it
           conducted
           him
           to
           Two
           Gentlemen
           ,
           who
           having
           understood
           the
           occasion
           of
           his
           motions
           ,
           promised
           him
           all
           their
           help
           to
           defend
           his
           person
           ,
           and
           to
           furnish
           him
           with
           necessaries
           for
           his
           subsistence
           .
           These
           Gentlemen
           were
           Two
           
             Reformed
             Christians
          
           that
           had
           been
           brought
           into
           Tribulation
           ,
           and
           who
           ran
           from
           one
           place
           to
           another
           ,
           that
           they
           might
           not
           be
           caught
           in
           those
           snares
           which
           the
           Persecution
           laid
           for
           them
           .
           They
           sought
           after
           such
           a
           Comforter
           as
           this
           ,
           to
           help
           them
           to
           endure
           that
           War
           wherein
           they
           found
           themselves
           engaged
           .
           They
           joined
           themselves
           to
           him
           ,
           that
           they
           might
           receive
           advantage
           by
           his
           Instructions
           ,
           and
           Exhortations
           ,
           and
           accompany
           him
           every
           where
           whither
           he
           should
           go
           ,
           that
           they
           might
           hear
           them
           .
           They
           followed
           him
           into
           many
           Houses
           in
           the
           Country
           ,
           and
           into
           the
           Woods
           ,
           where
           amidst
           the
           barrenness
           of
           Trees
           and
           Rocks
           ,
           God
           found
           out
           some
           Harvest
           for
           him
           to
           employ
           himself
           about
           .
           There
           were
           many
           Assemblies
           held
           ;
           there
           he
           made
           many
           Discourses
           ,
           and
           Prayed
           often
           ;
           being
           always
           in
           action
           both
           
           Day
           and
           Night
           to
           strengthen
           his
           Brethren
           .
           After
           he
           had
           there
           strengthned
           the
           hearts
           of
           many
           ,
           being
           desirous
           to
           know
           in
           what
           condition
           Monsieur
           his
           Father
           was
           ,
           rather
           with
           respect
           to
           his
           Soul
           than
           his
           Body
           ,
           he
           set
           forward
           towards
           Nimes
           ;
           and
           passing
           through
           Montpellier
           ,
           he
           there
           found
           some
           Ministers
           that
           were
           come
           thither
           to
           demand
           a
           Pass-Port
           of
           Monsieur
           the
           Intendant
           ;
           and
           with
           whom
           he
           had
           several
           Conferences
           to
           oblige
           them
           to
           tarry
           in
           the
           Kingdom
           ,
           which
           the
           King
           commanded
           them
           to
           quit
           ;
           assuring
           them
           ,
           That
           whatever
           Prohibitions
           there
           might
           be
           to
           tarry
           and
           Preach
           there
           ,
           yet
           he
           would
           tarry
           there
           and
           Preach
           ,
           that
           he
           might
           discharge
           his
           duty
           according
           to
           his
           Calling
           .
        
         
           The
           desire
           he
           had
           to
           see
           his
           own
           Country
           did
           not
           permit
           him
           to
           make
           any
           long
           stay
           at
           Montpellier
           .
           He
           was
           at
           Nimes
           where
           he
           did
           all
           that
           the
           duty
           of
           a
           Son
           ,
           that
           of
           a
           Christian
           ,
           and
           that
           of
           a
           Pastor
           could
           require
           of
           him
           .
           Thence
           he
           went
           to
           carry
           the
           Word
           to
           a
           place
           near
           to
           Nimes
           ;
           where
           Assemblies
           were
           held
           many
           times
           ,
           and
           where
           he
           spoke
           and
           prayed
           always
           with
           abundance
           of
           Zeal
           and
           Success
           ,
           without
           fearing
           in
           the
           least
           the
           Ambushes
           that
           were
           laid
           for
           him
           ,
           and
           the
           Dangers
           wherewith
           he
           was
           threatned
           .
           But
           the
           Enemy
           to
           the
           Name
           of
           Christ
           ,
           and
           those
           that
           defend
           his
           interests
           ,
           there
           raised
           up
           such
           strong
           Tempests
           ,
           that
           they
           could
           no
           longer
           Assemble
           themselves
           there
           .
           He
           separated
           and
           scattered
           those
           ,
           of
           which
           that
           Assembly
           was
           usually
           composed
           ;
           divers
           were
           made
           Prisoners
           ,
           of
           which
           some
           were
           condemned
           to
           the
           Galleys
           ,
           and
           the
           others
           after
           a
           hard
           Imprisonment
           were
           enlarged
           ,
           their
           Enemies
           not
           finding
           witnesses
           that
           would
           depose
           against
           them
           .
           In
           the
           time
           of
           these
           Seizings
           and
           Imprisonments
           Monsieur
           Rey
           was
           accused
           by
           one
           that
           professed
           Friendship
           to
           him
           ,
           his
           Name
           was
           Andoyer
           ,
           but
           who
           was
           treacherous
           to
           him
           after
           he
           had
           been
           so
           to
           God.
           He
           accused
           him
           to
           Justice
           ,
           which
           used
           mighty
           endeavours
           to
           take
           and
           destroy
           him
           .
           But
           he
           escaped
           his
           Hands
           and
           his
           Sword
           ,
           flying
           from
           the
           Persecution
           .
           This
           flight
           brought
           him
           as
           far
           as
           Castres
           ,
           where
           he
           continued
           his
           Employment
           ,
           in
           instructing
           his
           Brethren
           ,
           exhorting
           them
           to
           suffer
           all
           things
           for
           the
           cause
           of
           God
           ,
           which
           they
           defended
           ,
           and
           fortifying
           them
           to
           maintain
           all
           the
           Battles
           to
           which
           they
           were
           called
           forth
           for
           this
           holy
           Cause
           .
           His
           Instructions
           ,
           his
           Exhortations
           and
           his
           Prayers
           there
           ,
           had
           some
           effect
           on
           some
           good
           Souls
           ,
           who
           have
           since
           made
           it
           appear
           .
           The
           storm
           of
           the
           Persecution
           having
           been
           raised
           up
           there
           also
           as
           strongly
           against
           him
           as
           elsewhere
           ,
           removed
           him
           again
           towards
           Nimes
           ,
           where
           he
           remained
           sometime
           ;
           during
           which
           all
           his
           Care
           was
           to
           write
           many
           Letters
           
           to
           divers
           Prisoners
           that
           suffered
           in
           the
           Prisons
           ,
           not
           for
           being
           Murtherers
           or
           Thieves
           ,
           but
           only
           Faithful
           Servants
           of
           Jesus
           Christ
           ,
           resolving
           never
           to
           renounce
           his
           Truth
           ,
           nor
           leave
           off
           his
           Livery
           .
           He
           exhorted
           them
           by
           his
           Letters
           to
           suffer
           all
           Trials
           patiently
           ,
           with
           Constancy
           to
           bear
           all
           their
           Chains
           ,
           representing
           to
           them
           that
           their
           Chains
           were
           glorious
           ,
           seeing
           they
           bore
           them
           for
           the
           interest
           of
           Jesus
           Christ
           .
           After
           this
           excellent
           Workman
           had
           thus
           laboured
           in
           his
           work
           about
           Nimes
           ,
           he
           was
           called
           to
           Cerenes
           to
           labour
           there
           .
           He
           did
           not
           withstand
           those
           that
           called
           him
           ;
           he
           was
           at
           the
           first
           Summons
           ready
           to
           march
           and
           go
           thither
           where
           he
           was
           desired
           ,
           and
           where
           persons
           breathed
           after
           the
           Food
           that
           he
           distributed
           .
           Before
           his
           departure
           he
           believed
           he
           was
           obliged
           to
           bid
           adieu
           to
           his
           Father

           and
           to
           prepare
           him
           for
           all
           those
           Bonds
           ,
           and
           all
           those
           Tribulations
           that
           awaited
           him

           able
           or
           not
           daring
           to
           do
           it
           by

           face
           to

           for

               WHEN
               Abraham
               was
               going
               up
               to
               the

               his
               Son

               according
               to
               the
               Command
               he
               had
               received
               from
               his
               God
               ,
               he
               consulted
               not
               with
               the
               Flesh

               he
               boldly
               drew
               near
               to
               that
               Mountain

               his
               Obedience
               .
               God
               hath
               not
               spoken
               to
               me

               and
               Sacrifice
               my self

               him

               I
               know
               not
               whether
               God
               will
               be
               satisfied

               without
               exposing

               to
               Death

               If
               I
               am
               taken
               ,
               do
               not
               murmur

               all
               that
               it
               shall
               please
               him

               send
               on
               me
               for
               the
               Interest
               of
               my
               God

               .
               Oh
               how
               happy
               should
               I
               be
               if
               I

               the

               forth
               his

               and
               to
               die
               for
               his
               Cause

           As
           if
           by
           this
           Letter
           he
           had
           spoken
           to
           God
           ,
           to
           Flesh
           and
           Blood
           ,
           he
           was
           disingaged
           from
           all
           that
           which
           Flesh
           and
           Blood
           could
           do
           upon
           him
           to
           stop
           him
           .
           Immediately
           after
           he
           went
           thence
           and
           advanced
           towards
           Cerenes
           ,
           where
           he
           was
           impatiently
           expected
           ,
           and
           where
           he
           Abode
           .
           He
           was
           no
           sooner
           arrived
           there
           but
           he
           reassumed
           his
           Exercises
           there
           ,
           he
           publish'd
           the
           Secrets
           of
           Heaven
           there
           ,
           he
           comforted
           the
           Afflicted
           ,
           and
           in
           general
           fortified
           all
           the
           Faithful
           ,
           that
           made
           up
           the
           Assemblies
           where
           he
           was
           ,
           telling
           them
           the
           Truth
           they
           believed
           was
           the
           only
           Truth
           which
           they
           ought
           to
           believe
           ;
           that
           they
           ought
           to
           preserve
           it
           in
           its
           purity
           ,
           and
           never
           suffer
           Men
           to
           mingle
           their
           Inventions
           and
           Lyes
           with
           it
           ;
           that
           it
           was
           a
           Depositum
           ,
           which
           they
           were
           bound
           to
           preserve
           as
           they
           had
           received
           it
           ,
           that
           they
           might
           restore
           it
           to
           God
           such
           as
           it
           was
           when
           he
           entrusted
           them
           with
           it
           ;
           that
           't
           was
           the
           Pearl
           of
           great
           price
           for
           which
           they
           were
           to
           leave
           all
           other
           things
           ;
           that
           't
           was
           a
           Treasure
           which
           they
           were
           obliged
           to
           preferr
           before
           all
           the
           things
           of
           the
           World

           before
           those
           that
           are
           divided

           our
           very
           Lives
           ;
           that
           their
           Profession
           was
           the
           only
           way
           that
           they

           ,
           where
           he
           was
           in
           a
           profound
           Meditation
           .
           They
           had
           no
           sooner
           seized
           him
           but
           they
           carried
           him
           away
           with
           Violence
           into
           a
           House
           in
           the
           City
           ;
           one
           among
           them
           ,
           more
           furious
           and
           enraged
           than
           the
           rest
           ,
           took
           him
           by
           the
           Hair
           ,
           and
           dragged
           him
           in
           that
           manner
           to
           Prison
           ;
           he
           turned
           to
           him
           ,
           and
           only
           said
           to
           him
           ,
           
             Remember
             that
             God
             will
             punish
             thee
             according
             to
             thy
             Works
             .
          
           That
           which
           he
           foretold
           him
           was
           speedily
           fulfilled
           :
           For
           this
           cruel
           Officer
           had
           no
           sooner
           bound
           him
           and
           lock'd
           him
           up
           in
           Prison
           ,
           but
           the
           very
           same
           Day
           another
           Dragoon
           reproaching
           him
           for
           his
           Inhumanity
           which
           he
           had
           exercised
           upon
           him
           whom
           he
           had
           seized
           and
           taken
           Prisoner
           ;
           he
           was
           enraged
           at
           him
           ,
           drew
           his
           Sword
           against
           him
           ,
           vomiting
           out
           several
           Blasphemies
           ,
           which
           obliged
           him
           that
           had
           reproached
           him
           to
           draw
           his
           Sword
           in
           his
           own
           Defence
           ;
           and
           God
           made
           use
           of
           it
           to
           avenge
           Innocence
           and
           his
           Glory
           ;
           for
           the
           First
           Blow
           that
           he
           gave
           this
           cruel
           Executioner
           ,
           and
           this
           infamous
           Blasphemer
           ,
           he
           cut
           that
           Hand
           which
           this
           miserable
           Wretch
           had
           used
           to
           bind
           and
           to
           rend
           this
           Innocent
           Person
           ;
           and
           the
           
           Second
           Blow
           that
           he
           gave
           him
           he
           cut
           his
           Throat
           ,
           wherewith
           he
           blasphemed
           against
           God.
           With
           these
           Two
           Blows
           he
           died
           immediately
           ,
           and
           was
           drowned
           in
           his
           own
           Blood.
           Thus
           did
           God
           render
           to
           him
           speedily
           ,
           according
           to
           his
           Works
           ,
           according
           to
           the
           Word
           of
           his
           Servant
           .
           After
           he
           had
           preyed
           he
           was
           made
           a
           Prey
           ,
           when
           his
           turn
           came
           ;
           after
           he
           had
           cruelly
           entreated
           ,
           he
           himself
           was
           cruelly
           entreated
           .
        
         
           However
           this
           did
           not
           put
           a
           Stop
           to
           the
           Course
           of
           that
           Injustice
           and
           the
           Cruelties
           which
           were
           exercised
           against
           the
           Innocent
           .
           During
           his
           Imprisonment
           at
           Anduze
           he
           was
           loaden
           with
           Irons
           ,
           and
           guarded
           and
           watched
           by
           Six
           Dragoons
           ,
           without
           having
           the
           Comfort
           of
           seeing
           any
           Friend
           ,
           or
           receiving
           any
           Succour
           from
           any
           Person
           .
           Every
           one
           was
           forbid
           to
           see
           him
           and
           carry
           him
           any
           thing
           to
           eat
           .
           There
           was
           none
           could
           come
           near
           him
           but
           he
           whom
           the
           Judge
           had
           ordered
           so
           to
           do
           .
           This
           Treatment
           did
           not
           make
           him
           lose
           his
           Courage
           ;
           on
           the
           contrary
           ,
           this
           Resemblance
           of
           his
           to
           his
           Saviour
           ,
           being
           abandoned
           by
           all
           in
           the
           time
           of
           his
           Sufferings
           ,
           did
           only
           serve
           to
           fortify
           his
           Heart
           .
           He
           had
           prepared
           it
           for
           all
           sorts
           of
           Events
           ;
           he
           found
           it
           disposed
           to
           suffer
           without
           Murmuring
           .
           He
           was
           visited
           by
           the
           Judge
           ,
           who
           asked
           him
           divers
           Questions
           ,
           of
           which
           these
           were
           the
           chief
           .
        
         
           He
           asked
           him
           ,
           Whether
           he
           had
           preached
           :
           He
           answered
           ,
           
             Yes
             ,
             that
             't
             was
             his
             Duty
             which
             God
             had
             prescribed
             him
             ,
             and
             his
             ordinary
             Work.
          
           Afterwards
           he
           bid
           him
           tell
           him
           in
           what
           places
           he
           had
           preached
           :
           
             Every
             where
          
           ,
           said
           he
           ,
           
             where
             I
             found
             the
             Faithful
             assembled
             .
          
           Then
           he
           asked
           him
           who
           the
           Persons
           were
           before
           whom
           he
           preached
           :
           To
           which
           he
           answered
           ,
           
             'T
             was
             not
             his
             Study
             to
             know
             them
             ,
             but
             to
             teach
             them
             their
             Duty
             .
          
           In
           the
           Close
           ,
           he
           demanded
           this
           of
           him
           ,
           What
           End
           he
           propounded
           to
           himself
           in
           preaching
           to
           them
           :
           
             I
             had
             this
             in
             Prospect
          
           ,
           said
           he
           ,
           
             to
             comfort
             them
             ,
             to
             confirm
             them
             in
             the
             Fear

             of
             it
             I
             pray
             you
             .
          
           After
           he
           had
           said
           thus
           to
           his
           Judge
           ,
           he
           prayed
           him
           to
           grant
           him
           one
           Favour
           ,
           which
           was
           the
           only
           one
           he
           had
           to
           demand
           of
           him
           .
           The
           Judge
           having
           said
           he
           would
           grant
           it
           him
           if
           he
           could
           :
           
             The
             Favour
          
           ,
           said
           he
           ,
           
             that
             I
             have
             to
             ask
             of
             you
             ,
             is
             ,
             That
             you
             would
             not
             suffer
             my
             Father
             ,
             nor
             any
             of
             my
             Kindred
             to
             enter
             the
             Prison
             of
          
           Nimes
           ,
           
             whither
             you
             are
             carrying
             me
          
           .
           This
           he
           desired
           of
           him
           ,
           that
           he
           might
           not
           awaken
           the
           tendernesses
           of
           Nature
           ,
           and
           that
           he
           himself
           might
           not
           be
           softned
           by
           it
           ,
           that
           he
           might
           no
           more
           be
           exposed
           to
           its
           
           Efforts
           ,
           and
           no
           more
           hear
           the
           Cries
           to
           which
           he
           had
           bid
           a
           perfect
           Adieu
           .
           Afterwards
           he
           desired
           him
           to
           acquaint
           his
           Father
           and
           his
           nearest
           Relations
           ,
           That
           he
           had
           so
           perfectly
           resigned
           himself
           into
           the
           Hands
           of
           God
           ,
           that
           the
           most
           outragious
           Punishment
           ,
           and
           the
           most
           cruel
           Death
           would
           not
           disturb
           him
           .
           Entertaining
           his
           Judge
           after
           this
           manner
           he
           arrived
           at
           Nimes
           ,
           and
           it
           was
           Night
           ;
           the
           Judge
           not
           being
           willing
           he
           should
           be
           seen
           by
           any
           one
           ,
           he
           was
           forthwith
           put
           into
           a
           Dungeon
           ,
           where
           he
           passed
           the
           Night
           .
           The
           Day
           after
           they
           put
           him
           in
           the
           Prison
           ,
           bound
           with
           strong
           Chains
           ,
           guarded
           and
           watch'd
           ,
           and
           visited
           by
           none
           but
           the
           Monks
           ,
           who
           were
           not
           wanting
           to
           visit
           him
           often
           ,
           and
           to
           press
           him
           in
           all
           their
           Visits
           to
           change
           his
           Religion
           .
           But
           they
           always
           found
           him
           constant
           ,
           and
           so
           well
           resolved
           to
           suffer
           all
           things
           for
           the
           glory
           of
           God
           and
           for
           his
           Truth
           ,
           which
           he
           had
           preached
           and
           defended
           ,
           that
           being
           ravish'd
           with
           the
           Constancy
           of
           his
           Spirit
           ,
           the
           Tranquillity
           of
           his
           Mind
           ,
           and
           the
           Serenity
           of
           his
           Countenance
           wherewith
           he
           spake
           to
           them
           ,
           they
           were
           forced
           to
           say
           when
           they
           returned
           from
           him
           ,
           That
           they
           could
           not
           in
           the
           least
           prevail
           upon
           him
           ,
           what
           fair
           Promises
           soever
           they
           made
           him
           .
           At
           last
           having
           brought
           him
           out
           of
           Nimes
           by
           Night
           ,
           he
           was
           carried
           to
           Beaucaire
           ,
           and
           put
           in
           the
           Town-House
           ,
           always
           guarded
           and
           watched
           ,
           loaden
           with
           Chains
           ,
           and
           hindred
           from
           seeing
           any
           Person
           whatsoever
           ,
           of
           all
           those
           that
           bore
           a
           part
           with
           him
           in
           his
           Sufferings
           .
           There
           was
           a
           Concourse
           of
           Monks
           to
           see
           him
           and
           speak
           with
           him
           ;
           many
           did
           see
           and
           speak
           with
           him
           ;
           but
           what
           Efforts
           soever
           they
           used
           to
           disorder
           his
           Spirit
           ,
           and
           change
           his
           Mind
           ,
           he
           always
           gave
           them
           so
           good
           a
           Reason
           of
           his
           Faith
           ,
           and
           they
           always
           found
           in
           him
           so
           much
           of
           Resolution
           to
           suffer
           all
           things
           for
           it
           ,
           that
           leaving
           him
           they
           could
           only
           say
           this
           ,
           That
           this
           young
           Man
           was
           so
           strongly
           resolved
           to
           suffer
           all
           things
           for
           his
           Religion
           ,
           that
           Death
           was
           better
           to
           him
           than
           Life
           .
        
         
           Monsieur
           the
           Intendant
           comes
           to
           make
           his
           last
           Attempts
           upon
           him
           ;
           he
           spoke
           to
           him
           alone
           ,
           hoping
           that
           way
           to
           gain
           somewhat
           upon
           him
           ;
           but
           he
           found
           the
           same
           Spirit
           in
           him
           as
           others
           had
           done
           ;
           for
           the
           Spirit
           of
           God
           never
           forsook
           him
           :
           He
           exhorted
           him
           ,
           he
           prayed
           him
           ,
           he
           pressed
           him
           to
           change
           his
           Religion
           ;
           to
           that
           end
           he
           made
           use
           of
           all
           that
           the
           Horror
           of
           Death
           ,
           and
           the
           Pleasure
           of
           Life
           ,
           and

           the
           holy

           being
           afresh
           solicited

             God
             hath
             ordained
             it
             should
             be
             so
             ;
             all

             which
             I
             have
             not
             felt
             at
             all
             ,
             I
             believe
             you
             have
             suffered
             more
             than
             I
             whom
             you
             cause
             to
             suffer
             ;
             I
             can
             protest
             to
             you
             ,
             that
             in
             the
             Extremity
             of
             the
             Punishment
             which
             you
             would
             have
             me
             endure
             ,
             I
             have
             felt
             no
             Pain
             .
          
           Grace
           triumphed
           in
           him
           so
           strongly
           above
           Nature
           ,
           that
           it
           seemed
           as
           though
           Nature
           had
           been
           spoiled
           of
           her
           proper
           Sentiments
           ,
           so
           that
           he
           had
           none
           but
           those
           of
           Grace
           .
           They
           would
           hearten
           him
           up
           to
           put
           him
           in
           a
           Condition
           to
           undergo
           the
           last
           Combat
           whereon
           this
           worthy
           Sufferer
           was
           speedly
           to
           enter
           .
           To
           this
           End
           they
           prayed
           him
           to
           eat
           a
           Dinner
           .
           He
           did
           not
           withstand
           it
           ;
           he
           did
           what
           he
           was
           desired
           ,
           he
           did
           eat
           what
           was
           presented
           to
           him
           ,
           and
           said
           to
           those
           that
           gave
           him
           Victuals
           ,
           
             Some
             eat
             to
             live
             ,
             and
             as
             for
             me
             I
             eat
             to
             die
             .
             See
             here
             the
             last
             Meal
             that
             I
             shall
             make
             on
             Earth
             ,
             there
             is
             prepared
             this
          
           
           
             Evening
             a
             Banquet
             in
             Heaven
             ,
             to
             which
             I
             am
             invited
             ,
             and
             whither
             I
             shall
             be
             conducted
             by
             the
             Angels
             ,
             those
             Spirits
             will
             speedily
             take
             me
             away
             to
             make
             me
             a
             partaker
             with
             them
             of
             the
             delights
             of
             Paradise
             .
          
        
         
           From
           that
           very
           moment
           his
           mind
           was
           taken
           up
           in
           nothing
           but
           Prayer
           ,
           singing
           of
           Psalms
           ,
           Elevations
           and
           Transports
           of
           Soul
           ,
           that
           charmed
           all
           that
           heard
           him
           ,
           and
           pierced
           the
           hearts
           of
           all
           that
           observed
           him
           .
           Then
           he
           encountred
           with
           several
           Monks
           ,
           whom
           he
           so
           powerfully
           disarmed
           in
           several
           Discourses
           ,
           that
           they
           withdrew
           without
           having
           a
           word
           to
           answer
           him
           ,
           and
           without
           doing
           any
           thing
           when
           they
           retired
           but
           pouring
           out
           a
           torrent
           of
           Tears
           .
           At
           last
           they
           brought
           him
           out
           of
           Prison
           to
           go
           to
           the
           place
           of
           his
           last
           Punishment
           .
           Then
           Two
           Monks
           coming
           near
           to
           him
           ,
           and
           saying
           to
           him
           ,
           We
           are
           here
           to
           comfort
           you
           ;
           he
           answered
           ,
           
             I
             have
             no
             need
             of
             you
             ;
             I
             have
             a
             Comforter
             that
             is
             more
             faithful
             to
             me
             ,
             and
             who
             is
             within
             me
             to
             comfort
             me
             .
          
           These
           Monks
           being
           somewhat
           urgent
           to
           stay
           near
           him
           ,
           said
           to
           him
           ,
           Are
           you
           not
           willing
           we
           should
           accompany
           you
           :
           No
           ,
           said
           he
           to
           them
           ,
           
             I
             have
             a
             company
             of
             Angels
             ,
             that
             are
             round
             about
             my
             person
             ,
             and
             have
             assured
             me
             ,
             they
             will
             be
             with
             me
             to
             my
             last
             breath
             .
          
           He
           went
           in
           the
           Streets
           with
           an
           even
           pace
           ,
           and
           with
           a
           Countenance
           so
           contented
           and
           so
           assured
           ,
           that
           he
           seemed
           as
           though
           he
           were
           going
           to
           a
           Feast
           .
           As
           he
           was
           going
           to
           Execution
           ,
           having
           perceived
           some
           of
           his
           Brethren
           ,
           as
           he
           went
           along
           he
           saluted
           them
           ,
           and
           seeing
           they
           answered
           this
           Salutation
           with
           Tears
           ,
           which
           watered
           their
           Cheeks
           ;
           Why
           ,
           said
           he
           to
           them
           ,
           
             do
             you
             weep
             for
             me
             ?
             Weep
             for
             your selves
             only
             .
             As
             for
             me
             ,
             I
             shall
             quickly
             be
             out
             of
             Suffering
             ,
             and
             far
             from
             this
             valley
             of
             Tears
             ;
             but
             here
             I
             see
             you
             ,
             and
             here
             I
             leave
             you
             .
             Stir
             up
             your selves
             and
             Repent
             ,
             and
             God
             will
             have
             pity
             on
             you
             .
          
           The
           Monks
           persisting
           in
           their
           desire
           to
           accompany
           him
           ,
           he
           prayed
           them

           saw
           the

             long
             time
             proposed
             to
             my self

             himself
             hath
             prepared

             How
             agreeable
             doth
             this
             place

             and
             the
             holy
             Angels
             that
             keep

           His
           Zeal
           firing
           his
           Heart
           and
           his
           Tongue
           ,
           he
           began
           to
           sing
           a
           Psalm
           ;
           but
           the
           Officers
           of
           Justice
           perceiving
           that
           all
           the
           company
           was
           deeply
           affected
           with
           what
           he
           said
           ;
           and
           that
           his
           ardent
           and
           piercing
           Discourses
           might
           open
           their
           Hearts
           to
           the
           Religion
           ,
           they
           forbad
           him
           to
           sing
           aloud
           :
           It
           was
           difficult
           to
           him
           to
           restrain
           his
           fire
           ,
           to
           obey
           this
           Order
           .
           This
           Fire
           which
           animated
           him
           and
           enflamed
           him
           made
           him
           with
           some
           ardor
           approach
           the
           Ladder
           .
           As
           soon
           as
           he
           was
           come
           near
           it
           ,
           he
           cried
           out
           ,
           
             Oh
             ,
             how
             favourable
             to
             me
             is
             this
             Ladder
             !
             seeing
             it
             must
             serve
             me
             as
             a
             step
             to
             finish
             my
             course
             ,
             and
             mount
             up
             to
             Heaven
             .
          
           He
           prayed
           at
           the
           foot
           of
           the
           Ladder
           ,
           he
           went
           up
           all
           the
           Rounds
           of
           it
           so
           chearfully
           and
           so
           ardently
           ,
           that
           it
           appeared
           plainly
           that
           he
           thought
           it
           long
           till
           he
           came
           to
           the
           last
           .
           He
           perceiving
           in
           his
           getting
           up
           ,
           that
           the
           Monks
           came
           up
           after
           him
           ,
           which
           made
           him
           lift
           up
           his
           Foot
           not
           being
           able
           to
           lift
           up
           his
           Hand

           them

             Retire

             I
             have

             no
             need
             of
             your
             help

             I
             receive
             enough
             of
             it
             from
             my
             God
             ,
             to
             take
             the
             last
             step
             that
             remains
             for
             me
             to
             take
             ,
             that
             I
             may

           To
           this
           discourse
           he
           would
           have
           adjoined
           that
           of
           the
           Victory
           which
           he
           had
           already
           in
           his
           hand
           and
           of
           the
           Triumph
           ,
           the
           Glory
           whereof
           he
           already
           saw
           ;
           but
           the
           Enemies
           of
           his
           Victory
           and
           Triumph
           would
           not
           hear
           his
           voice
           ,
           and

           Like
           true
           imitators
           of
           the
           Cruelty
           of
           the
           Egyptians

           the
           most
           Cruel

           Idolatrous
           persons
           ,
           I
           mean
           the
           Ancient
           Sacrificers
           to
           the
           Idol
           of
           Moloch
           ,
           that
           they
           might
           make
           this
           place
           ,
           where
           they
           sacrificed
           this
           innocent
           Victim
           ,
           a

           Valley

           and
           of
           Tophet
           ,
           they
           hindred
           his
           voice
           being
           heard
           by
           the
           noise
           of
           Drums
           ,
           which
           they
           had
           placed
           all
           round
           the
           Gibbet
           ,
           and
           which
           they
           caused
           to
           be
           beat
           altogether
           ,
           that
           their
           noise
           drowning
           his
           ,
           it
           might
           not
           reach

           reap
           any
           further
           Benefit
           from
           his
           Oracles
           which
           he
           spake
           ,
           they
           fixed
           their
           Eyes
           so
           intently
           upon
           him
           that
           through
           the
           opening
           of

           towards
           Heaven
           ,
           they
           discovered
           the
           motions
           of
           his
           Zeal
           ,
           of
           his
           Courage

           Constancy
