She has dictated the followingaccount of her life to her son,our Br. James Grundy:
I was born February 6 1717 near Chowbent in the parish of Leigh in Lancashire,and brought up in the Presbyterian persuasion. My parents were very pious, and educated their children with great strictness. Whenever I did anything unwise, my mother used to preach the Law to me, which made me look upon God as an un Being. In my 8th year I had the following dream: I dreamed it was the day of judgement, and I saw an innumerable multitude around me. I wished to see our Saviour but was afraid of being seen by him;however, as I thought, I moved forward and thrust myself between two persons to have a sight of him. This I had ,then he turned to me , as he was sitting at a table, and smiled.Hereby I was so much encouraged, that I went strait up to him , and now I saw two books 1 lying before
