- In the year 42 Novbr ye 13 she was receiv'd into the congregation
and as it coud not be perciev'd that she got any satisfaction in
her Heart the Labours thought it more proper for her to go and
live with two or three Sisters who' was under the Brns care which
she took very much to heart and could hardly be persuaded to do as
was however thought for the best and she took it so very near that
it brought on a violent sickness for us she her self express & it
coud never bear to be Defard of the fellowship of living in the
midst of Sisters, and yet at the same she was in her heart very
dry and her being so very self righteous was made it very heavy
for her to fell as a Sinner depart alone upon our Saviour and
this has been ameans of her course being some what heavy in the
Congregation, and so she continued removeing for some time from place
to place to place by the direction of the Brn when at last she got
leave to go and live with some Sisters at the Home where she
at began to feel a little more of her self and was brought
in to very great concern about her Salvation but as she was
once coming from a meeting this verse was perticularly aplyd to
her Heart, Out of pure grace unmerited, Salvation show'rs
on our Head Merely because the Lord had dy'd, Because a Lamb
was Crucify'd, Are we invited to possess a Throne, Before the
World was made ordaind our own, and she was from this time made
sure of her Election * when the Choir House was begun at Fulneck
she with some others Out of the Oeconomys got leave from Briard
Mortimer to remove with them to that in Pudsey, but here it
she did not spend her time so chearfully as could have been wish'd
