to leave our Mother-Country, because we had no rest & to 
follow our B<hi rend="superscript">rrn</hi> which went before us. But as <sic>afterwarts</sic>  <corr>afterwards</corr>
<persname>Melchious Nitshman</persname> with two <sic>familys</sic>  <corr>families</corr> more went away,
such a wild Commotion ensued that we must in half a

for our Souls Sake. I <sic>intented</sic>  <corr>intended</corr> to take some Linen along
w.<hi rend="superscript">th</hi> me, but could not find in haste the key-hole, [?]

We <sic>knowed</sic>  <corr>knew</corr> what sort of Holes <add>were</add> <unclear>preport</unclear> for us in Prison;
therefore we took refuge to begging & told them the would 
consider our Distress & let us go, They were very hard &
<sic>inmoveable</sic>  <corr>immovable</corr> but at last they said, as we go for our Con-

Protestant Preaching en enjoy'd the Love & Goodness of
every Body. This we enjoyed every where, on our Journey
till we at last save arrived at <placename>Bertholsdorf</placename>. We went
the same Day to <placename>Hhuth</placename>, where they was just a building the
Congregation House, the Brethren which was on the Roof
knowd us, came down, saluted us with great Joy & Amazement
that we escapd so happily. But as to the same Time was 
no Employment for us there, then we lived 8 Weeks at
<placename>Bertholsdorf</placename> w.<hi rend="superscript">th</hi> <persname>Vater Nitschmann</persname>, but afterwards
the blessed Lady the <persname>Gersdorf</persname> took us under her Care & pro-
vided us a Lodging & Boarding at <placename>Kemniz</placename>. But as our
dear Lady a Year after went to her Saviour, we beggd
by our blessed Disciple for a Place in <placename>Hhuth</placename>. We aquainted
our Lord & the Minister at <placename>Kemniz</placename> w.<hi rend="superscript">th</hi> our Intention,
But they disuadeth us: saying what we would do
in this <sic>Desart</sic>  <corr>Desert</corr>? & who would give us there our Allimendation?
My Husband <sic>answerd</sic>  <corr>answered</corr>: Our Saviour who nourished
4000 Men in the <sic>Desart</sic>  <corr>Desert</corr>, He hoped will find <sic>Advise</sic>  <corr>Advice</corr>

to <placename>Hhuth</placename>, where we found several Trials in the first
Years, & I found out very soon, that the bare
Emigration from <add>my</add> Mother Country, was not enough
to set my Heart at Rest. The fundamental Him:
not to belief on the Son of God & his meritorious
Wounds, was here laid open to me, so that I did't
venture to go to our Lords Supper & thereby lost
