Moravian Lives

Heart, that it was a Joy to hear what our Saviour
did by his Silent & calm Comunication  Communication w.th him.
Deaf as he was, but he never ommitted  omitted, as long as he was
able to walk aswell the Meetings in the Congregation
as in his Choir & about so doing he explaind himself
as follows: I feel myself happy if I am only there, &
sit among my Brethren & Sisters & thinck  think on my
Saviour. He had much to do with his poor & weakly
Body, because he was liable to several very painfull  painful Occurences
so that very often Canquisched that our Sav.r would make
an End of his Shmart & bring him to rest in his dear
Wounds. Since the begining  beginning of this Year, it could be
easily guessd that our Saviour was about to compleat  complete
him for Eternity, then a lingering Fever sized in steed
of his former Accidents upon him & confined him to
his Bed. By this Alteration his Spirit was activ  active com-
forted & heavenly contented & for all the Waiting &
Trouble which he thought to cause, tenderly thankful.
He grew like a tired Child which pineth for Rest;
& so expected his Disolution with a faithfull  faithful presence
of Mind. This blessed Moment st[???] followed the
8th of June in the Morning at one a Clock, under
the Blessing of his Choir by these Words: So geh
then ein zu deiner Ruh, und eil den offnen Armen
zu. Sie nehmen dich auf zur gemein, wo Hauptw.
Hearts beysammen Seyn! When he happely  happily expired, in
the 77 Year of his Age.
