my sins, to which I answered as mentioned before, upon
he spoke very encouraging words to me, and said that

Decr 8th 1776 I had the favour to partake for the first
time of the H Comn. In 1779 I removed with my Mother
Bankhouse, where I spent 3 years very comfortably, tho
I had many schol schools for my own heart. but our Savior
helped me and proved my faithful friend.
After the happy departure of my dear Mother whom
I nursed to my end, I went to live at Heckmondwyke

June 28th 1783 when I came to the Srs house here.

Were not thy blood for me a sinner pleading
Where should I poorest among all the needy
Find succour ready--
