Professor wrote in my Memoandum <sic>Boock</sic>  <corr>Book</corr>:
Pracepta Christi: sunt optima Jura, that is:
The Advises of Christ are the highest in the Law.
this made a very deep Impression upon me, especially
as I was a restless Creature <add>in my Heart </add>from my Youth. I
fell upon this Thought: if I heard  <add>studyd</add> Philosophy there
I should find the Rest of my Soul, but all in vain.
I became more a Naturaliste & found for my Heart
no Satisfaction at all. A.<hi rend="superscript">o</hi> <date>1724</date> Myn <sic>Oncle</sic>  <corr>Uncle</corr> sent
me a Call, who was <add>then</add> Superintendent in the Dukdom
Wohlaw, as I came there, he sent <add>me</add> to<persname> Lord de Prittwiz</persname>
as Informator for his two Sons. A.<hi rend="superscript">o</hi> <date>27</date> I was there
taken very sick, so that the Doctor & every Body
doubted that I should be restituted again. In [?????]
[???] I <sic>feeld</sic>  <corr>felt</corr> myself in a much more deplorable
Condition in respect to my poor Soul: I saw myself
lost for ever, without any <sic>Advise</sic>  <corr>Advice</corr> or Comfort, I <sic>weept</sic>  <corr>wept</corr>
the whole Night veyr <sic>embarressed</sic>  <corr>embarrassed</corr> & intreated our Sav.<hi rend="superscript">r</hi>
earnestly to restore my Health this time again I
would give him my Heart in the future Days of
my Life. In a couple a Days I was well & as it were
regenerated. Every Body in the House saw that there
any Thing extraordinary happened to me & thought
I would turn a Pietist. The Year <add>following</add> I took here my
Dimission & went to <persname>S.</persname><hi rend="superscript"><persname>r</persname></hi><persname> de Wagner</persname> in <placename>Glebitsh</placename> as a 
                                                                     Informator

there I begun to convert myself very earnestly, I
prayd, I sung, <sic>weept</sic>  <corr>wept</corr>, read the <sic>Bibel</sic>  <corr>Bible</corr> & searchd in
every Religion if I could find any where a Congre-
gation of Children of God, but to no Purpose. <sic>Accidently</sic>  <corr>Accidentally</corr>
a News-Paper fell into my Hand, where I found a
pretty Testimony of our blessed Disciple, directly it
came into my Head, may be that's the Angel who
shall preach the Gospel of the Lord to his Flock.
I wished for a <sic>Opportuny</sic>  <corr>Opportunity</corr> to become <sic>aquainted</sic>  <corr>acquainted</corr> with him,
but for all that could not resolve to go to <placename>Hhuth</placename> & to
remain here I had no rest, because I found Nobody
w.<hi rend="superscript">th</hi> whom I could talk of my Heart as the Chamberlain
& a blind Woman. I came after that to <persname>S.</persname><hi rend="superscript"><persname>r</persname></hi><persname> de Seidliz</persname>
in my former Capacity & remained there three Years
& then got a Vacation of the Countesse Gefrey
as Secretair. I followed this Call but was there
as restless as formerly. Here I became <sic>aquainted</sic>  <corr>acquainted</corr>
who was a Brother but to the same still Counsellor
at <placename>Kitniz</placename> wth whom I could speak of my Heart
& he invited me to come to him, & we both
together would visit <placename>Hhuth</placename>. However I slept this
time out again, & went to my Brother in Law,
who was Minister at <placename>Fonendorf</placename> & laboured w.<hi rend="superscript">th</hi> great
Blessings of our Sav.<hi rend="superscript">r</hi> & made the great Awakening
at <placename>Dirsdorf</placename>, who was very glad to see one & gave
<sic>Advise</sic>  <corr>Advice</corr> & a <sic>Recomendation</sic>  <corr>Recommendation</corr> to the Chaplain to the
reigning Count at <placename>Sorau</placename>, because of being there a
