charms, and so fired with his abundant merciful
kindness, that his thro' pierced Foot got many a magdalene
salute. In this time of love, I did not seem to be
in need of faith, for it was feeling, and in a manner
seeing Him who is to bodily sight, invisible. On one
of my highly favor'd days, when taking a solitary walk
my gracious Redeemer revealed Himself to me as my
eternal Bridegroom, who had betrothed me unto Him
-self for ever. This was a day of my Espousals, which
I never can forget! At another period, I was consi-
-dering, what our dear Father must have suffered,
when He was in Christ [?] the world unto
Himself; what I felt was unutterable. I fell prostrate
