me upon this Occasion into a particular School , stirred
up in my a Confidence to God, so that I could converse
with him quite familiarly, & preserved me in many Dan, 
gers from Deviations, giving me an Admonition when 
I was not on the right Track. He at the same time wrought 
in me a Fear of falling into Sin, and granted me the 
Grace to speak uprightly with my Parents about every
Thing. By which means I escaped many Temptations
of the Enemy of my Soul.
     In the Year <date>1724</date> there was a great Awakening among
the Children in <placename>Moravia</placename>. I heard that we must get a 
new Heart if we will be saved, & that God alone was able 
to give it. This occasioned new Perplexity in me, seeing
that I was deficient herein <add>&</add> I was much troubled. I at the
same Time looked out for some Companions, to whom I would
discover this my Concern, & our Saviour gave me eight who
had the same Mind; we often went into hollow Roads and
Bushes, where we were alone, & wept and prayed for the new Heart.
A Hope was also kindled within me, that I should become 
a Partaker of it, tho' I felt myself very unworthy.
     In <date>1727</date> the Persecution in <placename>Moravia</placename> rose to that Pitch
that Orders were given, that everyone should swear Allegiance
to the roman catholic Religion. My Mother who had a
faithful Heart to our Savior, would & could not do it, but

[page break]

resolved rather to emigrate. She asked me whether I would
accompany her? I consented directly, & the Concern of our Heart
to see our Souls saved, was so great, that nothing could detain us.
     While these Things were going on, my Mothers older Brother
<persname>John Nitschman</persname> arrived with us from <placename>Herrnhut</placename>, who emigrated
before us, to him we discovered our Intention , & he being willing
to accompany us, my Father made directly secret Preparations for
our Departure. And thus we left our House & Mother Country
<date>June 23</date><hi rend="superscript"><date>rd</date></hi><date> 1727</date>, & set out for <placename>Herrnhut</placename> My <sic>Oncle <corr>Uncle</corr></sic> |: her Mothers

at last died in Prison at <placename>Kremsir</placename> as a Martyr :| and to whom I 
brought from time to time what he stood in Need of; to him I had
discovered our Intention, shortly before, & had taken a very moving
Leave of him. He recomended us there to the Protection of the Lord, 
and said to me during a particular Sense of the Peace of God: " I
am sure I shall find thee once among the Number of those who are
with the Lord " On our Journey we were several times in Danger
of our Lives, & besides this had to suffer much Distress, Hard
ships & Anxiety. But our Savior helped us, so that we arrived 
safe, chearful and happy <date>July 2</date><hi rend="superscript"><date>nd</date></hi>. at <placename>Berthelsdorf</placename> to our unspeak

with much Affection by the little Congregation there. But we had
to live yet for some Time in <placename>Berthelsdorf</placename>.
     My Concern for my Salvation increased here more & more.
I yet remember that I felt something extraordinary during the
