of mine, which was ravished by His winning
charms, and so fired with his abundant merciful
kindness, that his thro' pierced Foot got many a magdalene
salute. In this time of love, I did not seem to be
in need of faith, for it was feeling, and in a manner
seeing Him who is to bodily sight, invisible. On one
of my highly favor'd days, when taking a solitary walk
my gracious Redeemer revealed Himself to me as my
eternal Bridegroom, who had betrothed me unto Him
-self for ever. This was a day of my Espousals, which
I never can forget! At another period, I was consi-
