was born Ap: 1 1737 at Wortley in the parish of
Leeds. My parents belong'd the church of Eng: but
frequenting the Brns Meetings, they took us Children very
much often with them, My Mother would often Speak with me
concerning how I might love Our Savr but I had no
understanding of it I yet I felt my self much pleased
& my Ears attentively Open to all which I heard the Brn Speak
who kept the meetings, & was particularly awe'd and
restraind from many Childest & selfways, thro' a real
fear of Griveing our dear Saviour, who had Suffer'd much
out of Love to Me. When disobedience over took me' it
made My mind uneasey & I often went alone to weep,
with real Longing to become acquainted with him
whom I thus offended-
Bn Helt as Children parent often kept their Meetings
And when he Spoak of our Savrs blood & wounds, my
Heart filld presantly with Love & tenderness, so that
it was a most pleaseing Subject to me, & particularly
at one meeting, in which Bn Helt asked The Children
Many Questions, concerning our Svrs wounds, & which
was The greatest & what it was that pirced our Savrs
side, also what flowed from this Larg wound Hole
a particular impression moved my heart, to answer all
these Questions, & when I name'd that blood & water
flowed out of His Side, I then was overpowere'd
