Heart, that it was a Joy to hear what our Saviour
did by his Silent & calm <sic>Comunication</sic>  <corr>Communication</corr> w.<hi rend="superscript">th</hi> him.
Deaf as he was, but he never <sic>ommitted</sic>  <corr>omitted</corr>, as long as he was
able to walk aswell the Meetings in the Congregation
as in his Choir & about so doing he explaind himself
as follows: I feel myself happy if I am only there, &

the Blessing of his Choir by these Words: So geh
then ein zu deiner Ruh, und eil den offnen Armen
zu. Sie nehmen dich auf zur gemein, wo Hauptw.
Hearts beysammen Seyn! When he <sic>happely</sic>  <corr>happily</corr> expired, in
the 77 Year of his Age.
