Moravian Lives

they might be preserv'd for our Savr; & her whole desire was that they might
be under the Care of the Brethen  Brethren, & spoke fully thereon with her Husband &
Father. In the last Period of her Sickness which lastd about 3 Weeks, & was
very afflicting She had still to learn in the School of the H Ghost what a poor
Creature she was, & to be Stript  Stripped of every thing but Jesus & his Mood; About
14 Days before her departure when the extremity of Pain had brot her -
almost to distraction, & wherein the comfort from our Savr was not so clear
to her heart; She was afterwards enabled to rejoice the more in the feeling of his gracious
Presence & Peace, and desired the Brn & Srs to thank our Savr for what he had done
for Her, wch was done with a gratefull  grateful Impression: The same Evening being
again able to speak she sent for Br & Sr Mortimer & spoke very heartily
with them, told them She had spoke fully with her Husband & Father regarding
the Children &c. Was Sinnerlike & loving & our hearts tenderly united to thank
our Lord for all Mercy bestow'd on her, & that he would still graciously Accom-
plish all his Thoughts of Peace in her & with her. On the 29th which was her
last she express'd her self very lovingly to all about her, and then said:
O thou Lamb of God which takest away the Sin of the World thou hast also
took away mine, & wilt receive me bad as I am: Said to those about her
He has taken away my hearing, but has given me my Speech to tell You
he will receive me. She then said: Thou hast made my Bed soft, while
thou diedst on the Ignominious Free; Thy Head was crown'd with Thorns
Thy Back plow'd with deep Furrows &c. We could perceive almost to
her last, or as long as she was able to aim at speaking it was about the
Sufferings & death of our gracious Saviour: Her last moments were
accompanied with our heart Prayers, beseeching our dear Lord to bless and to
receive this his redeemed Soul; who now enter'd into his everlasting Rest
in the 30th Year of this dying Life.
