times expressed a wish, that she might not be a
dishonor to our Savior by unbelief & impatience
in her last hours, but that she might deport
herself as a Child of God to the very last. This
grace was granted unto her and her latter end
was truly edifying. She retain'd her presence
of mind to the last hour, folding her feeble
hands and praying without ceasing; she al-
so begged of us, that were present, to continue
singing and praying; & when I gave her the
last blessing for her departure, she was much
affected. I asked her once more: whether she
desired any thing? she replied: no, nothing
but my release. And this happy release from
all distress & woe she obtained at 9 o'Clock
in the evening, when she fell gently asleep.
Now she rests in the arms of eternal love,
refreshing herself at the very fountain head
of all comfort and joyfully waiting for the
blessed time, when her vile body now com_
mitted to the dust, shall be raised in corrup_
tible & fashioned like unto the glorious
body of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Her Age was 35 days years, 2 months & 7 days.
