begun the Anstalt on this Place. His quick & nimble Temper
made his Brethren in the Begining a good Deal a Wark
but a quick Alternation with him made him not
only more tractable but quite accustomed in the Anstalt.
However as his Parents 1758 removed from here to Spyer
they took him with their other Children along with them; He
was very uneasy about & wept very much, but kept privatly
the Desire in his Heart to return again; & his earnest longing

Life, he came the same year back again.
For about two years he gun to grow sickly Ao 62 he got an
Ulcer on his Foot & proved incurable by all imaginable Care
& Asiduity. On his last Birthday a new Work of Grace
could be perceived on him, he was affected about his former
Dryness of Heart & his indifference towards our Saviour &
made for himself with many Tears a covenant with Him to
be & remain his own Property. He inclined rather to go
to our Savr then to live longer; his Sickness to begun
to encreace, & so the brought him in a Room for himself,
He was very charmed when his children came to see him & sung
verses for him & one time as they diverted him with a pretty
Liturgy, he begun to take his tender Leave with them,
under many Tears; & after that he had the Joy to
get a Visit by his dear Vater & Oncle, he laid himself
on his Side & so went away easily & happy in the
tender age of 11 Years and 11 Months.
