It is not doubtful, ( as it is a common method in this world ,) that my life, and all what is contained therein, will be contradicted and criticised; but as it hath pleased GOD to reveal unto me the mystery of the way of the truth, ( of which I hope I am not ignorant ;) therefore I expect persecutions, contradictions, and criticism to take place; knowing, that whosoever will live according to the Gospel of CHRIST, must while in this vale of tears go through much sufferings and pains: for thus is the road that leads to everlasting happiness. Therefore let every true born soul know, that as our SAVIOUR suffered for us: so must we in return for the blessing of Redemption, suffer for his sake, for unto us it is given, in the behalf of CHRIST, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake. phi. chap. 1. ver. 29 . I therefore leave to the public to say what they please of this book; but the GOD in whom I have trusted shall be the judge of it.
Finally, the decisive day of our LORD, will put a determination to all our works, whether they be acceptable, or not.
Read, and read again this book, that thou mightest know, that wheresoever GOD hath a child, there will his eyes be, and that to protect him; though he may run to a certain degree of sins and wickedness, but at last He will snatch him as a bran from the eternal burning, and let him know, that it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of his good pleasure to shew mercy. Oh! had not GOD shown his mercy to me, where should I have been? in the broad road that leads to everlasting misery, yea in the dark and dolesome dungeon of dispair, without a glimmering ray of hope; everlastingly bewailing my miserable destiny. See how the words of the holy prophet prove true to my case; I am sought of them that asked not for me; I am found of them that sought me not.
