Coal, a judicious divine of Q. Maries dayes. [By John WILLIAMS, DD, Bishop of Lincoln.] Printed for the diocese of Lincoln.
Pagina 298 - I humbly acknowledge that it was not myself, but he that hath kept me to this great age, and let him take the glory of his great mercy. — And, my dear friend, I now see that I draw near my harbour of death ; that harbour that will secure me from all the future storms and waves of this restless world ; and I praise God I am willing to leave it, and expect a better ; that world wherein dwelleth righteousness ; and I long for it!
