we had the Care of the Girls <sic>Oeconomy <corr>Economy</corr></sic> in <placename>Herrnhut</placename>, & assisted in
the Work of the Lord & the Congrn. and particularly the married Choir.
In <date>June</date><date> the same Year</date><date></date> we went to <placename>Ronneburg in Wetteravia</placename>, &
from there to <placename>Frankfort upon Mayn</placename>, & with these Journies we made
the Beginning of a poor Pilgrim Life, having often at our Nights Lodgings
neither Bed Clothes above nor under us; and in the latter Place,
there arose soon a Persecution against the Brethren, so that we
were obliged to leave the City. We then stayed with the Pilgrim
Congrn. at <placename>Berlin</placename>, & afterwards in <placename>Wetteravia</placename> till in <date>Oct. 1738</date> when
we sat out on our Journey from <placename>Marienborn to Livonia </placename>with a Visa
to go, agreable to our Call, through Russia to Persia. Our Savior
blessed our Abode in <placename>Livonia</placename> to many Souls, & granted us the Grace
to testify with a hearful Heart to People in high & low Rank
what Jesus Blood each do on Sinners <unclear>base</unclear>. I shall never
forget it, what a powerful Grace ruled at that Time among
the Estonians & Lettonians.
In <date>1740</date> we returned to <placename>Marienborn</placename>, where I enjoyed a very
blessed Time. The Year following |:<date>1741</date>:| we resided with the
Pilgrim Congrn. at Geneva and Montmirail and in <date>May 1742</date> we
went with <persname>Count Zinzendorf</persname>s Family the second Time to <placename>Livonia</placename>.
But we found it this time very different from the Time we had
been there before; because a great Enmity had arisen against
the Brethren & which increased more & more, and in <date>April
1747</date> the Beginning was made to put the Brethren in Prison.
[page break]
The <persname>Brn. Gutslef and Helderhof </persname>were first brought as Pri,
soners to <placename>Petersburg</placename>, and in <date>June</date> following also <persname>Br. Fritshe</persname>
and my Husband. Though there was a very strict Prohibition, that
none of the Brn. & Srs. should be suffered either to leave the Country
or come into it; I ventured it however to travel with my Son 3<unclear>1/2</unclear>
Years old, whom our Savior had given me in <placename>Livonia</placename>, & a Foster
Daughter <persname>Mary Jacob</persname>, to <placename>Herrnhut</placename>. Having no Passport I could not
travel on the public Roads, & as besides this 6000 Russians
had formed a Line from the <placename>River Dina</placename> to the Boundaries |:it being
then War:| there was according to all human Appearance no Probabi,
lity to come through. But our Saviour who was so inexpressibly
near to me at the time when my Husband was taken Prisoner
so that it was as if he spoke personally with me, comforted and sup,
ported me powerfully. I simply followed his Leading, and he brought
me at last through many Dangers, round about Ways, Wildernesses
& Morasses to <placename>Angermünde</placename><placename> in </placename><placename>Curland</placename> to the <persname>Rev. M. Laskiell</persname>
where I was richly strengthened & refreshed. They also cared for it
that I safely arrived at <placename>Königsberg</placename>, from whence I was accompanied
to <placename>Herrnhut</placename>, where I arrived in <date>Aug. the same Year |:1747:| </date>For
Joy that I was in my dear <placename>Herrnhut</placename>, I forgot for some Time all
my Griefs & Sorrows, and <persname>Count Zinzendorf</persname> took a fatherly Care
of me, so that I would speak fully with him about all my Circum,
stances. However the Grief about my dear Husband, of whom
I would get no Account to be depended upon, returned soon, &
besides this I had many laudy & heavy Hours, so that it was
a Wonder that I was so safely delivered of my Son <persname>John Frederie</persname>
