her very much. In 1753 on the 25 of February
she after many a Hearty wish & Earnest longing
for it was addmitted to the Lords Supper-
In the same year was Receiv'd from the Great-Girls
to the Single Sisters Choir.
She has since about 10, or 11, years Old,
carried about a Very sickly & weakly Tabernacle
which she bore without Complaint, & being of an
exceeding still quiet; but also very solid &
sensible dispostion Dispossition she was seldom
heard to speak about any thing except when
spoken to: But however as we now have found she
took good Notice of ever thing & Ponderd them in
her Heart.
In February this present year she had the
Small-Pox which not [?] only went very hardly
with her But also left that remaining on her
which Render'd her much more Weak & Sickly
than before a Consumption appearing thro' her
Whole Constitution: It was manifest to all about her
she could not hold it out long, tho' she herself wo'd
commonly say when ask'd about it "that she was
pretty well,, Nevertheless what she inwardly felt
brought her " also upon the thoughts & consideration
of going to Our Saviour (as she afterwards de-
clar'd with Joy.)
In July she was a little Better but the disor-
der Presently return'd more strong than ever:
Yet she continued to walk about till the 22d of
November, then she entirely took her to her
Room & soon after to her Bed.
Now she freely acknowledgeing that she
had all this summer last, been in a Continual
meditation & Consultation with her Dear Saviour
about her going to him, having all along been Senscible
of it for herself that she should not stay here
but the Reason why she would not confess it
openly was because she was affraid she should
not go as soon as she wish'd for.
She was now exceeding Bad, but quite Brisk
in her Spirits & chearful in Heart & Soul, & as before
even Ever since we have known her she has
been us'd to speak very little, so Now to the Con-
trary she Spoke a great deal especialy to these
with whom she had had an intimiate acquaintance
& Perticularly with Our dear Sister Mary
who very faithfully visited her all the time
On the 12th instant she had her Birth-Day
(being 20; years old,) when many Sisters who vis-
-ited her Express'd their Hearty wishes for her
which she receiv'd, & answer'd with much Satis-
-faction: In the Afternoon her Class made
her a Very Pretty Love-Feast which rejoic-
-ed her Exceedingly & in which she spoke of
her Departure with such Pleasure & Delight
as she never had done before; she spoke with
sister Mary & made out Ev'ry thing that was in
her Mind about her Burial, as well as all
the Hearty wishes & desires of her heart for
her Class &c. In short she said that this had
been to her the Happiest day she ever had
had in all her Life. This day & forward she
unbosom'd & declar'd what she had (Perhaps)
kept Treasur'd up in her Heart to this Opper-
-tunity for some years Past, She spoke of her
various Troubles & Anxieties in Perticular Circum-
