Moravian Lives

persecuted me every where. In this only perplexed Situ-
ation I opened the Bibel  Bible & just touched them Words:
So der Gerechle kaum erhalten wird, wo will der
gottlose und Sünder ersheinen. I found myself
guilty as such a poor & wreched  wretched Creature, but had
Nobody who could advise me & show me the Way to my
Redemption. In this Situation I resolv'd a second
Emigration & came as fortunatly  fortunately to Berlin as the
first time, in the very time as Pattore Shulze arrived
there with the Colonie from Gerlachsheim. I joined
myself with the awakened Souls there & was very
Desireous  Desirious for my Happyness  Happiness, but very often hindereth
myself. A. 1738 I marryed  married, & as B.r & Sister Jaeske
from the Congregation arrived, then the Work of the
holy Ghost came nearer to the Point in my Heart,
so that I could weep as a poor Siner  Sinner to our dear for
Mercy. So far his own Words.
A. 1749 he was receivd into the Congregat.n & the 27th of May
the same Year he was admitted to our holy Comunion  Communion.
From which Time he provideth happily in the Grace of our
dear Redeemer. He had a stiff Temper but was honest &
confident. Since two years he grow sickly, but did't spare
himself to requent all the Meetings as long as possible
In Month of Febr. he must keep his Bed quite,
his only Desire was that our Saviour would soon take
him home. He called very often: O dear Saviour
take me in thine Wounds! To Day he said: I have
still Time till 4 a Clock & to the very Hour he went
home happy & in Peace, w.th the Congreg.n Blessing.
