of God. This caus'd me great Concern. I pray'd and Sigh Shew me
thy ways O Lord that I may <sic>walth</sic> <corr>walkth</corr> in thy Truth! He answerd me I will
direct thee and shew the way thou shalt go, I will guide thee with my
Eyes. About this time there was a great awakning at <add><placename>Oderwitz</placename></add> which
I would fain have joind, but at first, fear of Man gave me much
trouble, yet I was convinced in my heart that I should find what
I sought. I went to <placename>Berthrelsdorff</placename> and heard <persname>Pastor Rothe</persname> preach
|:which I had done once before:| and in his Sermon he gave me
such a plain description of my State of Soul as tho I had before
told him of it. And now the <sic>perscecution</sic> <corr>persecution</corr> began which did not
terrify me, I felt peculiar Grace in my heart, and had I remaind
in my Simplicity, I should have avoided many a heavy hour
But instead of that I came into self Workings, I went to the Parson
and told him my whole State he often told me I was in the right
way I should only pray to God to bring me further in his Grace
but no sooner did he see that I conversed with souls who were
convinced how wrong their former Life had been then he indea-
=vourd to hinder me all he could. The Meetings at <placename>Oderwitz</placename>

hold of me and would carry me before a Justice, not knowing
