Moravian Lives

Professor wrote in my Memoandum Boock  Book:
Pracepta Christi: sunt optima Jura, that is:
The Advises of Christ are the highest in the Law.
this made a very deep Impression upon me, especially
as I was a restless Creature in my Heart from my Youth. I
fell upon this Thought: if I heard  studyd Philosophy there
I should find the Rest of my Soul, but all in vain.
I became more a Naturaliste & found for my Heart
no Satisfaction at all. A.o 1724 Myn Oncle  Uncle sent
me a Call, who was then Superintendent in the Dukdom
Wohlaw, as I came there, he sent me to Lord de Prittwiz
as Informator for his two Sons. A.o 27 I was there
taken very sick, so that the Doctor & every Body
doubted that I should be restituted again. In [?????]
[???] I feeld  felt myself in a much more deplorable
Condition in respect to my poor Soul: I saw myself
lost for ever, without any Advise  Advice or Comfort, I weept  wept
the whole Night veyr embarressed  embarrassed & intreated our Sav.r
earnestly to restore my Health this time again I
would give him my Heart in the future Days of
my Life. In a couple a Days I was well & as it were
regenerated. Every Body in the House saw that there
any Thing extraordinary happened to me & thought
I would turn a Pietist. The Year following I took here my
Dimission & went to S.r de Wagner in Glebitsh as a 
                                                                     Informator

there I begun to convert myself very earnestly, I
prayd, I sung, weept  wept, read the Bibel  Bible & searchd in
every Religion if I could find any where a Congre-
gation of Children of God, but to no Purpose. Accidently  Accidentally
a News-Paper fell into my Hand, where I found a
pretty Testimony of our blessed Disciple, directly it
came into my Head, may be that's the Angel who
shall preach the Gospel of the Lord to his Flock.
I wished for a Opportuny  Opportunity to become aquainted  acquainted with him,
but for all that could not resolve to go to Hhuth & to
remain here I had no rest, because I found Nobody
w.th whom I could talk of my Heart as the Chamberlain
& a blind Woman. I came after that to S.r de Seidliz
in my former Capacity & remained there three Years
& then got a Vacation of the Countesse Gefrey
as Secretair. I followed this Call but was there
as restless as formerly. Here I became aquainted  acquainted
who was a Brother but to the same still Counsellor
at Kitniz wth whom I could speak of my Heart
& he invited me to come to him, & we both
together would visit Hhuth. However I slept this
time out again, & went to my Brother in Law,
who was Minister at Fonendorf & laboured w.th great
Blessings of our Sav.r & made the great Awakening
at Dirsdorf, who was very glad to see one & gave
Advise  Advice & a Recomendation  Recommendation to the Chaplain to the
reigning Count at Sorau, because of being there a
