that it might be so on Earth ! ' After which words, he said, ' I have lived to see this world is made up of perturbations ; and I have been long preparing to leave it, and gather- ing comfort for the dreadful hour of making my account with God, which I now apprehend to be near: and though I have by his grace loved him in my youth, and feared him in mine age, and laboured to have a conscience void of offence to him, and to all men ; yet if thou, O Lord ! be extreme to mark what I have done amiss..., who can abide it ? And therefore, where I have failed, Lord, shew mercy to me ; for I plead not my righteousness, but the forgiveness of my unrighteousness, for His merits, who died to purchase pardon for penitent sinners. And since I owe thee a death, Lord, let it not be terrible, and then take thine own time : I submit to it : let not mine, O Lord ! but let thy will be done.' With which expression he fell into a dangerous slumber; dangerous as to his recovery, yet recover he did, but it was to speak only these few words : ' Good Doctor, God hath heard my daily petitions, for I am at peace with all men, and he is at peace with me ; and from that blessed assurance I feel that inward joy, which this world can neither give nor 3 so IZAAK WALTON take from me: my conscience beareth me this witness, and this witness makes the thoughts of death joyful.
