in a Tavern, but could't stay there longer then 1 1/2 Year
& returned home to her Mother again. In the 25 year
of her Age, she marryed the present Widower & was bless
in her Marriage State with 9 children, wherefrom 2 are
gone befor her to our Savr. She frequented Mr Inghams
Preachings very busily, but found no sooner Rest in her
Heart, before She heart Br Bohler & Mortimer preach.
To the same Time our boody Redeemer appeareth before
her Heart & ensured to her, that her Sins are forgiven,
& to the same Time opened to her the only redemption by
his Blood & Death. This Impression She never lost again
but kept very closse to it by all inward & outward
heavy Occurrences. And so our Savr allways showed
himself the very same true Heart towards her, as she
once had lernt to know him. Soon after that she
was at Holme received into the Society.
But as her Husband was not of her opinion, her
Admittance into the Congregation must be postponed
till 1760. there the both were received together.
She lernt herself to know better & better, & often
wondert herself very highly: that our dear Saviour
was not ashamed about her, as such a poor Sinner!
The 9th of May 1762 she was admitted to the holy
Sacrament. Towards her Husband, whom she came
before in this respect, she behaved like a Maid of the
Lord, which had such a Effect upon him, that he throwed
himself down before the Feet of our Saviour & beggd
Mercy
Mercy for the Sake of his bloody Reconciliation, &
obtain'd it. Ao 1762 She grew sickly. It did't seem
in the Beginning as if there was any Danger to be
expected, however She was set upon to see Him soon
whome she Loved so tenderly. In Feb a. o. Br and Sist
Watsons came to see her, by which She express'd her
earnestly Desire for the holy Sacrament. She got her
Desure granted & enjoyed with her Husband it the 14th
of March the last time in her House, under a un-
speakable Feeling the Nearness of our dear Saviour.
The 24th She uttereth that the Time was very long to
her before our Saviour would call her home; but
as a Sister replyd: She might be of good chear &
thinck how long our Savr was to stay, till she
gave her Heart; There she lay ashamed & the
Tears came rolling down her cheeks. Now her
most Time was consumed in a sweet & happy
Slumber till to the 31st of March, when her blessed
& happy Soul left her Body in the 52 Year of her
Age
