Moravian Lives

I had such a Manifestation of our Savr in his suffering from in Spirch as
if he had seen him ????? bodily Eyes, wch melted him me into Tears of Love &
tenderness. He removd to Leominster in order to enjoy the more special 
Fellowships of the Congn I was Reced in the Congn in August 64, but not admitted
to the Comn till July 63. during wch time of waiting he had [muornering]?
in his Mind; & being engaged ????? wth merely Natural people in Mr. Nelnos?
Busyness, he went aside & cast himself at our Savrs feet [??]mplord him
to show him what was his hindrance, who manifested it to him that it
was his own Fault, his heart was grown Dry & indifferent towards him, wch he
acknowledgd wth a basem? & soon after was admitted to partake of that Grace.
In Jan. 64. he was Marr? to his late Wife wth whom he lived in
a Comfortable & happy manner. She has always ??? enjoyd the
fellowships & blessings in the Congn while without interruption.
He became a Widower in July 81. this alteration affected him much
finding himself so lonely & often thought he shod not be long after her, & last
winter he bgan to fail pretty much, & ab[?] [Candlemas] greed incapable of Loving
his work, altho he had struggled wth it longer than cod have been expected.
During his Sickness was in a Dropsieal Disorder; it has been evident that he has
Legitimated himself as a faithful Serv. where he has work'd both at
Paesteign & Leominster he having used much kindness & assistance from
them. he was of a plain blunt but very honest disposition. but our Savr
was his object & his heart eleasd to him, & most pleasd wth what honourd him.
In his heavy Swiftness he earnestly desires to be desolved & to be at home
wth his Lord. He was diligently (?) visited, & many Verses sung by him for
for which he was thankfull  thankful; on the 5th. in the afternoon as his dissolution drew
near, some Brn & Srs came to him, & in a feeling Prayer recommended him
to our Savr for the Accomplishment of all his thoughts of Peace in him & with him
& in the Peace of Jesus Christ the blessing of the Congrn was imparted to him & in the
Evening he departed happily to his Everlasting Rest.
