Now my former Inclination to the had fixd <add>in me</add> such a
Fear of myself, that I no where trusted to live, &
imagined Danger every where; but the Friend of
my Soul soon recollected to me, that I lookd more
on my blessed Husband as on the <sic>Conexion</sic>  <corr>Connection</corr> w.<hi rend="superscript">th</hi> him.
This made me prostrate myself before & I begged
w.<hi rend="superscript">th</hi> 1000 Fears forgiveness over all what passed.
He Mercy took me as I was, & I had from
thence a more happy Period. By all that, I could
not get rid of my Scrupulosity by the feelings of
my Misery & like a Child draw near to him
according to my Wish, <sic>therfore</sic>  <corr>therefore</corr> the Fear of myself
darkneth my happy Hours very often. In this
very Year, I & my Sister went to see the Con_
gregation at <placename>Hhuth</placename>, there I <sic>feeld</sic>  <corr>felt</corr> the very
Peace of God, and the Brethren & Sisters I

a dangerous Period for my poor Heart begun,
a false <unclear>Poeple</unclear> filled our Minds with so much
dangerous Expectations and Things against the
Congregation, that our Journey was quite <sic>dropt</sic>  <corr>dropped</corr>.
By all that our Saviour was so <sic>gratious</sic>  <corr>gracious</corr> to
beware that I did't sin against his Church, &
my <sic>Disire</sic>  <corr>Desire</corr> still remaining to <sic>spent</sic>  <corr>spend</corr> my Days under

<sic>Semons</sic>  <corr>Sermons</corr> deliverd at <placename>Berlin</placename> & begged our Saviour
very often that if I belonged to this Folks,

Sister desireth Leave to stay in <placename>Bertholsdorf</placename>
(only to be near <placename>Hhuth</placename> & to try if we belong
