Moravian Lives

arose on account of my leaving the Church; this was a time of great trial
unto me: I saw I could not please God & Mammon, & our dear Savr gave
me the Grace to make choice of him, & leave all other troubles to his direction.
On Christmas Day 1781. I had the Grace to be recd into the Congn; & on the
13th of Aug: 1782. our dear Lord permitted me to be Spectator at the holy
Comn with the Congn in London the first time, wch blessed time I shall never
forget; Our dear Savrs Presence was so near me, that he appeared to me

without the Gates of Jerusalem, that Friend of Sinners never withdrew
his sweet nearness from me during my Confinement; at wch time I
recd his Body & Blood in the holy Comn for the first time on my Sick
Bed to my Souls comfort: This memorial day was the 14th of October
1782. Since wch time I have had repeated Seals of his Love; O grant I may
always remain as a poor Sinner at his Feet

who believes in him made a good Impression on many, and wch we hope -
will not be forgotten: When at times she was better she attended the Meetings
dilligently  diligently, & indeed often recover'd to our Surprize  Surprise; was particularly
thankfull  thankful for being able to attend the Meetings when Br La Trobe was here
and to hear the Synod read, & took it as a favour & Gift from our Savr;
Was much concern'd for her two Children (the younger being deaf & dumb) that
