Evesham, April 8. Several persons came to see me, amongst whom was Mr. Benjamin Seward, whom God has been pleased to call by his free grace very lately. It pleased God to cast him down, by eight days sickness; in which time, he scarce ever ate, or drank, or slept, and underwent great inward agonies and tortures. After this, God sent a poor travelling woman, that came to sell straw toys, to instruct him in the nature of our second birth, and now he is resolved to prepare for holy orders, and to preach Christ and those truths which once he endeavored to destroy. He is a gentleman of a very large fortune, which has has now devoted to God. Blessed be God, that although not many rich, not many mighty, not many noble are called, yet some are.
A poor seller of straw toys is the means God uses to bring a rich man to faith!
