Hinchcliff they observd in her something
of the character which the Holy Scriptures
give us of the Mother of our Lord: that is
she was poor in her own Eyes, quiet and
yet hearty. When at the late settling of the
Helpers Conference in this Congregn our
Savr directed that she should be a Member
thereof, it had a very blessed Effect on her
Heart, she expressd herself about it with Love
Shames & counted herself very poor & unfit.
The Sunday before her Departure having
been at the Meetings with her Husband she
afterwards was overheard comforting a dejected Sisr very
heartily & lovingly on the Tuesday Br Green
-ing providentially calld at her House and
Br Hinchcliff being out on his Business, she
sat down and convers'd awhile very heartily
about her own inward poverty, expressing at the same
time (tho indirectly) her Love towards our
dear Savr, & more directly her Love to her Husband, her
care & concern that her Sons Soul might
prosper, and that he might be preserved for
the Lord. She then appeard pretty well in
Health as she was also the next Day till
afternoon, when she complain'd of her Head
& soon after sitting down was gone to her
Lord in a minute of two in a quiet and
easy Manner (with scarce any Struggle
of the Body) in the 52d Year of her Age.
Her corpse had afterwards a lovely aspect
as teh Countenance of a reconciled com-
-forted Sinner which had placidly slept
in the Lord: She was also a most loving
Daughter in Law to Br Hinchcliffs Father
& Mother who are both very ancient & could
not enough express how kind & affectionate
she had been to them, and who have therefore
a real Loss in her Departure, as well as
other necessitous People, whom she made
it her Pleasure to help. For the Lord had
given her a loving compassionate Heart.
