to fetch them. Br Nixdorff did all that he could
to persuade him first of all to visit the Con

that good Lamb pityd by Condition and out of
grace forgave me for the Sake of his Blood,

to go the first Time to the holy Communion, which
was an unspeakable great grace to me, which
captivated humbled and melted my Heart. O
Lamb thou art all in all, the Grace is unspea
kably great, thy Faithfulness is unfathomable
to such poor unworthy Good for nothing Sin
ners. The Watchword was: They shall be my
people & I will be their God in Truth & Righte
ousness & the Collect was: thou fain wouldst
have me cleaner in Heart" so far his own Words
