ordinances upright are all thy wayes Though before with David we did weep and would not be comforted yet now seeing the evidence of thy appointment we must rise up and praise thee Ye see her appointed time I come now to her waiting Iob saith he would wait for his change and why may not I say All her dayes she did wait till her change came For if the waiting for our change be first the leading of such a life as doth shew we know there will be a change secondly if it be in the confluence of worldly blessings to minde more our change than them thirdly if it be at the approaching thereof to desire it embrace it welcome it joy in it then I may truly say she did wait for her change God is my witnesse what I speak it is not from partiall affection so it is not for particular ends I follow not doubtfull rumours uncertain and flying reports but what I know to be truth from her birth to this her change from her cradle to her grave I speake and that for truths sake setting her waiting for a pattern to our waiting First then I say her life was such as did testifie she knew there would be a change Religion piety devotion is that which gives as it were another life to all morall vertues and makes them Christian without it they may be profitable to others but little to our selves It is true onely God knowes the heart in it self and by himself but if pregnant presumptions and well nigh infallible signes may be a firme ground for passing censure I may confidently affirme and assevere that the fear of God was placed yea deeply rooted in her heart and from this fountain did flow those streames of the exercise of religion Her hunger and burning desire to hear Gods word her attention in hearing her knowledge by hearing her sweet devout communication and practise after hearing What shall I name to you her frequent praying daily reading her writing almost the whole New Testament with her own hand and was all onely in hypocrisie and for shew No I am assured her religion was not so much in her eares and tongue as it is with many as in her heart and life Who knew her knowes she was more in substance than in show From this same fountain flowed also that rare and scarce to be matched obedience love honour and all due respect to her parents which as her whole life did witnesse so her change nothing more grieving her for her change as that her change would bring grief to them If I should enlarge her observance to her superiours in regard of age and state of life her dutifull respect to her equals her modest moderat carriage to her inferiors her love to all and love of all I might easily wearie my self in relating and you in hearing The mouths of many will speak what now I may not onely two words It is rare to finde so few years so full of nature so full of grace And next whereas such eminent parts and vertues especially in young years are usually accompanied yea and darkned with more than conspicuous faults I know many will bear witnesse with me that not onely she was free of such as might any wayes obscure her more noble parts but even of such as might bring upon her the least stain before man being blamelesse far be it from me to say before God I am sure before the world Now judge yee if such a life was not a waiting for her change For the second The confluence of worldly blessings I confesse my ignorance in Herauldry to describe her pedigree and descent derived by many generations from her well deserving ancestors Onely this I can say and let me say it to provoke their posterity to imitation and emulation they were truly honourable since both blood and vertue joyned to make them noble noble not onely by inheritance but by purchase Their greatnesse from their blood their goodnes was from their vertue Such her birth But what availes names titles armes honours if there be no more her birth did not so much honour her as she it having in a beautifull body a more beautifull soule such knowledge wisedome skill in all things befitting her sex and far above her age● that scarse her equall let be her superiour could be found Why should I speak to you of her many noble friends her meanes and worldly estate and hopes and such like And those also are Gods blessings not to be neglected and by many too much respected Now what could have been expected but that this concurrence of earthly blessings of all sorts within without of birth body soul estate friends would have tied her heart to the world and raised her thoughts to an applauding of her self and contemning of others But ah who ever did see pride shine in those eyes when did ever neglect and contempt shew it self in that meek loving and lovly countenance I have often wondered to behold such excellent parts followed with such admirable humility humanity modesty curtisie and that not onely towards the great which may and oftentimes dwels with pride but even to those of the lower sort Now what did all this shew but that her heart was not in this world that those worm-eaten and fading pleasures did not bewitch her that she did thinke on her change and that trampling under foot all the pompe and glory of this world she did aspire to that glory the eye never saw the eare never heard Thirdly when her weaknesse did threaten her change with what spirituall courage did she welcome it Thousands dare not so much as once think on their change The Athiest the Epicure the worldling are confounded with the apprehension thereof Onely the child of God dareth encounter it Her strength was from God whom she did ply and importune with ardent prayers to strengthen and confirm her in her last conflict Her inward friends a good conscience and faith in Christ did sustain her and made that as she was not ashamed to live so not afraid to die The last word of my text and of her is her change O bitter-sweet change bitter to us sweet to her To us bitter who shall see no more that face nor hear that voyce we never saw nor heard but with pleasure and joy bitter to us who by this change have our joy changed into sorrow our laughter into mourning but ô sweet ô joyfull change to her who hereby hath changed earth for heaven the place of her exile for her fathers house where there be many mansions the company of mortall men with the happy fellowship of the immortall God of Christ her Saviour of the glorious Angels and blessed spirits of the just Her change like the furnace of fire to the three children at the worst hath but loosed her bands like Ionah's whale carried her through the storms of this tempestuous world to the port of her eternall rest like the red Sea hath
