comfort himself, before he spoke with him: he recapitulated
his complaints again & begg'd heartely forgiveness about
all & especially where he was burdensome to his Labouress.
He was advised to the true and compassionate Friend of Sinners,
where he certain & willingly would find forgiveness & Grace,
according to his Heart Desires; all thy Brethren are ready
& willing to forgive him from all their HEart.
Be a second visit they found him calm and quite in a
altered Situation. & related to them with a Joyfull Heart
that he had last night a Visit of our dear Saviour & it
is true that he is the greatest Friend of Sinners; he had
pardoned him & his heart was now easy & happy. & in
this disposition he went home the same day, wash'd
& cleansed of the very remembrances of Sins in the 39
year of his Age.
