nights exceeding Happy, the 8th in the forenoon our dr Br
Justini occasiond him much Joy by his unexpected Visit
He bgan a Happy Conversation with Him concerning the
allsufficiant and bleeding offring of Jesus which so much
affected him that he was almost out of himself which made
a deep Impression on the rest in the House in the Afternoon
after a very affectionate taking leave, our Dr Br Justini
return'd back to Seiten Schrein from whence Br Norie
came to him, he had a very heavy Night, yet as soon as
Br Norie sung a Verse from the Wounds and Mater of
Jesus, he said, "o this Refreshes me much, beg'd him to

years in the House red to Dorpt to fetch a Dockter, to
which after much Perwasion he at Length consented
In the afternoon some of our Eastuian Labourers came
to visit him to whom notwithstanding the great Weak-
ness of his Body, he gave such tender Marks of his Love
that non of them could refrain Tears at their going
away they big'd him when he came to our Sav to kiss
his thro bor'd Feet for them, which he assured them he would
with a confident yet, and a chearful Look. In the
evening came Doctor Becker from Dorpt, whom he
wellcomed with the follwoing Words, I am pleased that
You are come, but must tell you beforehand, that it
is not the fear of death, occasion'd my sending for you
o no, I have a Physician in Heaven, whose Name is
Jesus Christ, to him I have given my self intirely over
both Body and Soul, yet I would not quite set asside
your Assistance you can now deal with my accord

situation of mind in such a severe Illness but gave
little hopes of his Recovery, tho' he did all in his Power.
Yet with little effect. This day came also Br Rohler

already at which he lifted up his Hands, thank'd our
Saviour and said that is true I am bowed down at his grace
and will childlikely leave all over to him. But said he
further "what will become of Camby" at which Br Morgner
ask'd him wht then was his Mind & will, He answered "I
leave it intirely over to our Sav and his Congregation"
as he was thus speaking his spouse came in to whom he
partly himself repeated, and partly with Br Morgner's
assistance told her what had been said and added to
it I have talk'd with her fully about it and I know she is
one mind with me, He then named Br Justini as guard

might in time come remain a place for our Sav as
it was so suitable for the Labours among that Nation

them, what a joy will it be when we see each other again
