Moravian Lives

The Life of the Md Sister Marg. Evans whose Maiden
Name was Lewis who has dictated the following _____
I was Born Sept 23 1723 at Clambad in Rolnorshire[?]
My Mother was a Religious Woman & bro.h me up as well as
She co.d according to her knowledge. When I was about 5 Years
Old, I had such a Conviction that I thought every Creature did
obey God by my Self, but this impression wore off. In my 8th
Year I felt my fallen estate & begd the Lord to forgive my
backsliding, & was glad when I cod have the House to mySelf
in my heart, notwithstanding this did not abide but was
forgotten till my 12th Year when I was awakend by hearing
the Methodists. Some young peopel persuaded me to go to
a Dancing at a Wake, but when I went into the Room &
Saw my Sister, I calld her out to come home directly & so
return'd, my heart was ready to break feeling such an
Aversion to such things. I continued to hear the
preaching of different persons, but felt a particular lik-
ing to hear Mr Beauman. I went to the Comm at the Church
when ab.t 14 Years of Age. The last time I heard Mr
Beauman, he said he was going to Hauerfordwerts
but there is a people calld the Brethren, keep you to our
Savr & he will bring you to them. I felt what he said was
right, & soon found that the Meeting that wch were kept there
did not suit me & they began to persecute me, & they said I
dump'd their Meetings, as I co.d not Relish what was said,
but our dr Savr was very near to me & made my Cup[?] run over
w.th his Love. This Scripture often came in my mind, [?]
