inclined to some excess in passion and in the vanity of his youth had contracted an habit of swearing of the evil of which being convinced he found it yet difficult wholly to leave it and as a means in order to it injoyned his Lady privily to pinch his Arm when she heard any Oath slip from him to which reproof he would ordinarily with a great deal of kindness reply I thank thee my dear Saint and by this means was at length able wholly to abstain from that vice and to fear an Oath unweariedly to desire and to be present at private Fasts and other Religious duties severely to reprove others especially his servants and admonish his friends of those errors which had formerly been too much his own pleasure and delight In short by the blessing of God upon the publick Ministry of the Word upon which he now diligently attended and the more private means of this Excellent Lady This worthy person before he died was brought to such a good hope through grace for several moneths without perturbations to look upon death every day making its nearer approaches to him and at last not without testimony of a true hope in God quietly to commit his Soul into the hands of his blessed Redeemer A person who did remarkably serve his generation and doubtless he had been an eminent instrument if it had pleased God to have granted him a longer life being one who might erre through prejudice or misapprehension but of that nobleness of temper height of courage and spirit that he never valued cost nor wanted an heart to go through with any thing of the goodness and justice of which he was once convinced and to whom excepting Academical learning which his younger years were not patient of nothing was wanting which could constitute adorn and accomplish a brave and ga●ant man But I am digressed and must return we have hitherto only viewed this noble Lady in her Conjugal capacity as she stood concerned in her husband We must now view her in her Parental relation for God had not given her a barren womb nor dry breasts though indeed for the further triall of her faith and patience he made her ordinarily to bring forth to the grave● ●he was the Mother of Nine Children of which only one that a daughter lived to marriageable years the rest died all either in their infancy or before they had arrived to their years of Puberty The young Lady who was the only Coal God had left her alive was afterwards married to an Honourable and worthy person Sir John Hobart Baronet the heir of her Fathers honour and Family by whom it pleased God after some years to give her a Son after which this young and noble Lady did not long survive being immaturely taken away by the Small-pox many years before the death of our Noble Lady nor did her only Childe long survive its mother so that she lived to see her wise God stripping her of every branch that had sprang out of her root to let her know he had a better name for her than that of Sons and Daughters Concerning her deportment to her other Children whiles she enjoyed them I can say nothing having not had the advantage of knowing her till some years had past after God had deprived her of them Only may rationally presume it not unlike to what she shewed to the only surviver For her I could say much if while she had a being with us by her pious disposition affable and ingenuous temper and most vertuous conversation in short by whatsoever accomplishments could perfect and adorn a young and Vertuous Lady she had not both approved her self to all to whom she was known and also commended her betwixt whose knees she was educated to such an 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 of feminine perfection The instruction of her Father which she heard and the Law of her Mother which she did not forsake proved an Ornament of grace unto her head and as chains of Gold and Orient Pearls about her neck And indeed as there was nothing wanting in nature to accomplish that young and excellent Lady so her vertuous Mother had resolved that nothing should be wanting which either her own care or the Art of others could help her to Nor did this Rare Lady shew more of a Mother to her while she lived than of a Christian Mother when it pleased God to extinguish this light of her eyes and quench this only coal which he had left her taking her death with that due sense which became so tender and indulgent a mother and yet with that patience and fortitude which became on t only her rational soul who considered she had brought forth a mortall Daughter but also a submissive Christian who had learned not to repine against Heaven but in a great measure to melt down her own into the divine will If we once more turn and consider this Noble person in the relation of a Mistresse to a numerous family of Servants we shall finde her there conversant with the same honour which discovered it self in all her other capacities Though Aristotle was a stranger to her yet she had learned this rule So to behave her self towards her Servants as that her carriage would neither allow them to be proud or malapert nor yet did discourage them into any baseness of spirit After that the choice of her servants came intirely to her self her great care in the first place was to procure persons fearing God to be nigh unto her The number of these being few in this great licentiousness of Youth she preferred vertuous and sober persons she might indeed as to such be once and again deceived but none ever abode in her house when she had once discovered them to be Drunkards Vnclean persons Profane Swearers or Cursers Enemies to Religion and Godliness or any other way scandalous and her eye was so much about her house her care so much for the discipline of it as it was not easie for any such person to be long concealed but he was discerned either by her Ladyships own eye or by her Steward's She alwayes gave noble messes of meat to her servants and portions to her maidens and she also took more than ordinary care for the better Concerns of their immortal Souls In short there is none ever served her who will not praise her in the gates none who ever waited upon her but will rise up and call her blessed 3. But my Pen hasteneth to the consideration of this Honourable person in the third and last period of her life when she was again reduced to a single state In this she was indeed best known unto me having had the happiness to wait upon her during this whole time and for some little time before about seven or eight moneths from whence I shall begin my story It was in September 1646. that I was invited by Sir John Hobart at that time alive to take my Chamber in his house whiles
