in several more Conditions, which detaind my going
to Hhuth, till at last I got a Letter of S.r de Leidliz
our dear Brother, who invited me to come to him
in the Capacity as a Informator of his Children. This
Opportunity I took Joyfully & was there very near
6 Years. A.o  38 B.r Ras[k]e a Studiosus came to me
inquiring: If I would go w.th him to see Herrnhuth?
I was directly willing & after getting Leave of my
Patron, we both sett  set out for Hhuth: The Watch-Word to
Day was: Loose them & bring them unto me. We
arrived there on Good Fryday  Friday. As I came the first time
into the Hall & they begun to sing: Gnade strömt aus
Jesu Wunden, dass man Abba sagen Kan, my Heart
at once was as in Heaven & directly I feeld  felt: that's
the Place for thine Home; hier they Swallow has
found her Rest! And this remaineth in my Heart,
by all following Intricateness whatsoever. I went home
again & staid  stayed there the Time of my Promisse  Promise & as
A.o 1739 S.r de Seidliz himself went to Hhuth, I had the
Pleasure to go in his Compagnie  Company to stay there.
Two Months after I was receivd into the Congregation
& in two Months following was admitted to our Lords
Supper. The very same Year I was sent from Hhuth
to bron conduct the Children of S.r de Fshirsky
to Silesie & to stay w.th them as their Informator.

Beeing  Being, familiar & courteous to every Body

Soul; & so comforted the holy Ghost dayly  daily his
