me for, But I thought I could be more fully, satisfied
If I accquainted you With them; and how those matters
stood, So I have Wish'd very much to have a hearty
Conversation With you, Which accordinly Was done
Between them With many Tears, Then She declar'd
Her Heart was quite Satisfied, and now she had but
one thing more to mention, Which Was concerning
Her Burial, What thoughts She had about it, and
made some Proposals, Which was Agree'd to
May ye 14th She Spoke With Concern, that to Day it
was 15 Weeks since she came in the Sick Room
and She thought the time very long before our Savr
fetch'd her to himself, the 18th She had that
Favour to Partake once more of our Dear Savrs
Body & Blood in the Holy Communion of Which
Her Poor Hungry & Thirsty Soul was very glad
She also continued quite happy & Chearful, & the
21st We Observ'd a Particular Alteration In her
Which We Perceiv'd to be Convulsions, so that we
Believ'd she would soon go home, But She grow-
ing a little Better continued ye 22d all Day in a
Cold Death Sweat Tho' Exceeding Ill, yet She spoke
often about her own Heart & others, to our great
Surprise, & upon being Ask'd if She would kiss
our Saviours Feet for us, She answer'd; not only
That, but I will tell Him Ev'ry thing let me but
first come to him, ye 23d Stronger convulsions
and that with more continuance Which Seiz'd on
her Memory very much, so that We thought Ev'ry
Breath She Drew would be the last, But yet
We could Perceive that she often spoke in Stillness
Whereupon we ask'd her Who she spoke with, she
Immediately Replied With our Saviour, that He
May manifest himself to me till the last moment
as he always has hitherto Done ever Since I Was first
acquainted with him & his Wounds at 1 o Clock
In the afternoon, She desird to have a couple of hours
To herself alone, with our Saviour, and at 3 for
With a Smiling Countenance, her Soul flew into the
Pleura of her Everlasting Bridegroom & Lover
Under those words, His Body Torn With many a
Wound, That makes thy Soul & Body Sound;
and, so go then go Dear Heart & hide &c.
