So Thou help me! - The Entanglement was instantly cut asun-
-der, and I was as free from him that moment & ever after, as
if I had never seen him or heard of him, in my life. -- ------- --
In a blessed Meeting kept by ye dr Count Zinzendorf,
I had an amazing stroke upon my heart, as if stabbed to the quick
by ye sword of ye spirit. - This was a new awakening of an evan-
-gelical kind, differing entirely from ye former, which was
legal: now I was in a do quite particular leading of the
holy Spirit. - I felt my deep depravity, but not with fright
and terror. Floods of tears streamed from my eyes,
& in a
tender godly sorrow & condition my heart was day & night
sighing soft for the Beloved. This was the dawn of that
memorable Day, in which He was pleas'd in a powerful man-
-ner to manifest Himself to my poor heart! Thus all my
grief was drown'd, Pure delight I found! He was too
strong for me, & prevailed: thus he overcame me
by this bloody fight, now I was led Captive by those
bands with right. -------- This was the day of his
power, when ye Covenant was seated, & the knot was tied!
I felt that my debt was paid, and full atonement
made. Sweet was his pardon to my Soul, my Sin-sick
heart was now made whole. I was as one new born,
having found favour in His sight. That He was
made [?] for me, hell-deserving Sinner, afforded
                              great Consolation of this heart
