Moravian Lives

for our Saviour, & felt no wish to part
from those who had been entrusted
to my care. In the year 1798 the
well known rebellion in Ireland,
created much disturbance in the
North, but our good Lord protected
us from all danger. When in
April 1800 I received my call to
Dublin, it caused me no small pain
& perplexity. I had no wish to part
with this dear family, which was
now in a prosperous state, enjoying
mutual love & confidence. Fearing
however that I should grieve our Saviour
if I suffered myself to be influenced and
guided by these feelings, I prayed him to
direct me how to act, & felt that nothing
would relieve my troubled mind and
set it at ease, but to follow his gracious
direction altho it would at the same
time be painful for me & this dear fami=
-ly to part. I therefore accepted my
appointment to Dublin, as out of our Sa=
-viours hands, saying not my will, but
thine be done. I served the family in
Gracefield 5 1/2 years, & we parted from
each other with feelings of love & regret,
which I cannot describe in words. _
