" fell down upon my knees in order to pray, but
" could do nothing but Sigh. My heart was quite broken,
" and I wept abundance of tears. How I felt then I
" cannot express in Words. I got some comfort and
" hoped it would go better. But I found however no
" abiding rest and Satisfaction for my heart.
" A little time after I got to hear that some Germans or as
" others called them Moravian Brethren came to preach in
" Hallifax. They brought us the sweet & comfortable Tidings
" of the Salvation of Sinners thro' the Sufferings & Death
" of Jesus, inviting the poor and miserable to come just
" as they were to their wounded Savr and seek for
" Grace at his feet, [declaring that] he had redeemed us and would freely
" save us from Sin, & give rest to our Souls.
" Their Words came with power to my heart, I rejoiced
" at this good News, and got hopes that he would have
" Mercy on me poor miserable Sinner. I frequented
" their Meetings as often as my poor State of health
" would permit. When I went the very first time
" to Smithouse to a Meeting there (and came on the
" Bank Top,) I was thrown [from] by the horse. I thought
" within myself, this is the Enemy Doing, to keep me
" back and to hinder me from going. I went however
" forward, (and desired those that were with me, not
" to tell my husband or others of it, lest he should
" hinder me to go again.) I was a quarter of a Year
" sick afterwards. The more I heard the Brn the more
" I saw the deep Corruption of my heart, being of a
" proud, passionate temper, and inclined to be selfrigh-
" tious. I resolved to be our Saviours with Soul &
" body, and parted with whatsoever I thought would
" prove a hindrance to my happiness, and step in
" betwixt me and our Savr. I used to spin worsted
" and had saved the bits of Ends now & then to
" make in time a pair of Stockings out of them
