was the 6 of March wth the Congregation by our
Lords Supper. Afterwards her Sickness increased
however, the nearness of our Saviour made her
smart tolerable to her. And soon She thought
she had done some Thing wrong to our Saviour
or the Sisters which attended her, directly beggd
Mercy very sinerlike.
On the Thursday when the Congregation had the
Holy Communion in their Hall; she placed in her Room
(which was very near the Hall) in Chair, that she could
hear what they Sung & did, accompanyed herself wth
singing & so received the Holy Flesh & Blood of
Christ in an unspeakable Maner. But by that
declared freely that this will be her last Communion
below. In a Night in which her Husband was quite
alone with her, she told him: that she is to go to her
eternal Husband, he has ransomd & reconciled her,
& knows that she is his. I go home as a poor
Siner, have nothing to afford but misery: But by
all that he cloathed me in his Blood & righteousness
& ransomed me for his Property. After that
She begg'd forgiveness about all, ambrassd & thankd
her Husband in the tenderest Manner under
many a Tears. Then she begun to thank & to
praise her bloody Savr about all Mercy he
bestowed on her. The 11th in the afternoon
as the day of her departure a good may Brthren &
Sisters came to see her, towards them still wth full Presence
of Mind, She showeth her Love and Tenderness & sayd smilying
I have no Miscontentment against any Body. Her
Call to the Congregation & the Grace of our Saviour Bestowed on
her was still the Matter of her Praise and Thanks. She sang
with the Brethren and Sisters as much as her Weakness would allow
& accompanyed this verse very distinct: Hast du dich
nicht selbst on mich gehangen. An Inquiry if
our Saviour was near to her. She answered with a
Smile: O very near! pointed towards her heart with
Her Finger, saying: therein he is my bloody Treasure!
The feeling of our Saviour amde all who was present
to shed Tears. Now she began to call out: O Grace,
O Grace! She said farther: When I come to our Saviour
& he ask me, what I have done in this wicked. He
answered: I have wept for thee! as her senses began
to diminish,she said very often: Gratious and mercifull
sometimes with this addition: in Eternity Amen! & so
She expected her Dissolution, by which her Husband
gave her his blessing & so delivered her into the Hands
of her Eternal Husband wth the Blessing of the Lord &
Congregation & so went this redeemed Soul into
the Hands of her so gratious Saviour with Peace &
Joy, in the Evening at 6 a Clock in the 30 year
of her age.
