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, and 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 1724 there was a great Awakening among
the Children in Moravia. I heard that we must get a
new Heart if we will be saved, and that God alone was able
to give it. This occasioned new [?] in me, seeing
that I was [?] herein and I was much troubled. I at the
same Time looked out for some Companions, to whom I would
discover this my Concern, and our Saviour gave me eight who
had the same Mind; we often went into hollow Roads and
Bushes, where we were alone, and went 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 1727 the Persecution in Moravia 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 and could not do it, but
[page break]
resolved rather to emigrate. She asked me whether I would
accompany her? I consented directly, and 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
John Nitschman arrived with us from Herrnhut, who emigrated
before us, to him we discovered our Intention , and he being willing
to accompany us, my Father made directly served Preparations for
our Departure. And thus we left our House and Mother Country
