Moravian Lives

here it oft Darted into my heart (viz)
If then doest this then thou wilt
be bound & weded  wedded to the World & remaine  remain
sould  sold under Sin & hazard the loss of
thy soul: here I was so stoped from
each persuit  pursuit of the world & the flesh
however Obsurd  Absurd it migh  might seem to others
I endavourd  endeavoured to get clear of all hoping
to becom  become wholey  wholly our Saviours & to
belong to his people: Immediatly  Immediately
seeking to becom  become Acquainted with them

1. About this time the Gentelwoman  Gentlewoman
   

I servd sent her yong  young Daughter in
my care to a Neighbour wher  where the
small pox was on purpose to Catch
it, but to no effect but our D.r Saviour
knowing the danger I was still in
of loosing my soul I being still full
with passion pride & self admiera-
-tion  admiration he laid me down on the
small pox (tho it was not then in
our Neighbourhood) in which I
belive  believe I suffered much more yea
wood  would much rather Die this put
such a stop to those Miserys  Miseries that
still lay in me that I thanks Him
for this unspeakable Mercy
with numberless Tears
