Passage to London Ends as He Seeks Son’s House
The dying man returns to London for minor affairs but soon departs for his son's home. He cannot eat or drink for three days yet his heart remains steadfast. He recalls earlier life with calm, seeks to leave memorials, and finds no dark sins aside from infirmity. He attends worship twice, hopes for a scripture as his meditation, and speaks warmly of God. Dr Baillie visits suggesting a painful swallowing operation, offering little hope.
