Moravian Lives

Alone my true Saviour did't leave me Rest in
Pleasure whatsoever but transformed all wordly Plesures  Pleasures
into Bitterness, Grief & Mourning. I knew very well
I was not converted & therefore toock  took one Resolution
after the other, but without Effect; then I allways  always begun
driven by the Restlessness of my Heart w.th my own
Power, therefore I never found rest or get into a 
true Conexion  Connection w.th our Saviour. By the infattigable
Disire  Desire of our dear Mother our Saviour provideth for
us, and we got a Proceptor from Dr Buddei, Named

who recommented  recommended contualy continualy  continually the Love of
our crucified Saviour w.th a burning Heart to

respect. This Marriage was a great Blessing to my
Heart. My Husbands' tender Conversation w.th our 
Saviour moved my Heart anew, that as he ask'd me
in the first Days of our Marriage: how it would be
with me? if Poeple  People would drive him out for the Sacke  Sake
of our dear Saviour out of the Town & Country?
