JOSEPH WATSON, jun. Allendale 28 5Mo. 1822. His disorder was a consumption of a lingering kind, by which he was confined to his room for several months. It was not till about six weeks before his decease, that he gave up all hope of recovery; het from the beginning of his illness he was preserved in a quiet, lamb-like state of mind; saying, at times, that he had no desire to live but for the sake of his family. He frequently desired his brother to read a portion of the Scriptures by his bed-side, in hearing which he expressed great satisfaction. On one of these occasions that passage of Isaiah, "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee," affected him sweetly; being favoured to witness it verified in his own experience. Toward the latter part of his illness, when affected with pain, he expressed a fear lest his patience might not hold out to the end; yet no expression of impatience ever escaped him; and he frequently spoke of the happy state of his mind. One evening, when several of his Friends were in his room, he said: "I have to struggle with great weakness, and sometimes considerable pain; but I trust I shall be enabled to wait with patience the appointed time, and then I doubt not I shall be removed beyond the reach of all pain; and may you all, my dear Friends! be favoured to feel the same animating influence, when you come to my state: I hope we shall meet again in Heaven." At another time, when a Friend was remarking the length of his sufferings, he said: "I sometimes think the time long; but, when I consider the length of eternity, it appears very short." Some time previous to his death, being reduced and exceedingly weak, he grew anxious to be released, but still continued patient. On the day of his death he took an affectionate leave of his Wife and Brother, and for a time appeared restless and uneasy to be gone. Being observed to whisper, his brother asked him if he wanted any thing. He said: "No! I am praying to be released, and that the Guardian Angel of the Lord's presence may attend me in the last conflict." He desired his love might be remembered to his absent relations and friends, and soon after said: "Now! now! I shall be released!" |
