in this longing disposition I once retird alone, and prostrated before
our Savr and he appear'd before me in that bleeding figure as he
hang upon the Cross, and gave me the asureance that he had
forgiven one all my sins, this was a comfort which no words
can describe; thus I became chearfull and was thankfull for
what I had injoyd. and I feelt an inexpressabel desire to be a
participant of the H: Communion, which grace I was made
a pertakes off, Feby 18th 1776 to my great joy, from this time
I gave mysilf up intirely to our Savr, and wish'd for nothing so
much as to live in a close connesion with him, till I shall see
him face to face, - so for her own words --- Since she had the
favour to be a partaker of the Body and Blood of our Savr in the
H: Commuion she was very strict with hersilf: the sense she had of her
own poverty made her always timerous, least any thing shou'd
creep in between our Savr and her, and when ever the smallest thing
did; she cou'd never be easy till it was want'd away by the Blood of
our Savr which had once given her pardon: This watchfullness over
hersilf prov'd the means of her keeping in a close conexion with her
unseen friend; she was for some years past at times very sickly, and
towards the latter end of last year, she got a bad cold and cough;
which never rightly left her tho' severall means was try'd for that
purpose, Janry 18 1778 she mov'd to Fulneck to see if change of air
wou'd not be of servise to her; but she was soon abliged to move
into the Sickroom her sickness terminating in a Consumption;
it was soon clear to her that our Savr was hastening to prepare her
for himsilf: and tho' at times she wish'd to recover, yet she soon resignd
hersilf to the will of our Savr that he might do with her as he
thought best, and so spent her time in the Sickroom in a tender childlike
hearts conexion with him in her last days here below, she rejoic'd at the
happy prospect she had in view, often praying that the time might soon
come, it was very agreeable to be near her the peace of our Savr so surr
ounded her, it was likewise a pleasure to her to be visited by the Sisters to
whome she often tould how she long'd to go to her everlasting rest
which longing desire was happily fulfild May ye 3d in the morning?
when she went over into the arms of her Bridgroom with the Blessing
of her choir in the 24th year of her age.
