Containing the Personals of the Widow Sister
<persname>Anna Magdalena Rollerin</persname> (formerly <persname>Schulzen</persname>:)
She has left the following Account of her path <sic>thro</sic>  <corr>through</corr> time:
I was born the <date>10</date><hi rend="superscript"><date>th</date></hi><date> of March 1698</date> at <placename>Breslau</placename>.
In my tenderest Infancy I receivd such an Impression of the
fine Hymns which my Father was used to sing that I often
wish'd: Oh that I could but love my dear Lord Jesus with my
whole Heart; since he has suffer'd so much for me. As soon
as I had learnd to read, my Father <sic>keept</sic>  <sic>kept</sic> me <sic>stricktly</sic>  <corr>strictly</corr> to reading the
Bible, and explaind to me the most Necessary passages of Scripture,
and I often wish'd, particularly at reading the <sic>Narative</sic>  <corr>Narrative</corr> of our Saviours
Suffrings, that my whole Life, might be a Joy to the Lord Jesus.
In my 12<hi rend="superscript">th</hi> Year being admitted to the Lord Supper, our Saviour was
<unclear>inly</unclear> near my heart, and the Holy spirit took to me from that time
forward in so blessed a Manner, that during my single state I was
preserved from the Temptations of the World, and continued <sic>stedfast</sic>  <corr>steadfast</corr>
in my Childlike simplicity in Christ Jesus. In my 18<hi rend="superscript">th</hi> Year at my
Fathers earnest <sic>perswasion</sic>  <corr>persuasion</corr>, I married a Trader named <persname>Christian
Vogel</persname>. This Marriage was but of 2 Years Duration, and my only Son
soon follow'd the Father into Eternity. Meantime, I found that <sic>thro</sic>  <corr>through</corr>
my change of State, I had Cost pretty much of my former Happiness
and in my <sic>widdow</sic>  <corr>widow</corr> state, began to reflect thereon seriously, was
Ashamed and Humble, and my faithful Saviour forgave me all,
<unclear>Vouchsated</unclear> to give me the <sic>Sensce</sic>  <corr>Sense</corr> of his sweet <add>nearness</add> as formerly, so that
for near 3 Years I was a happy <sic>widdow</sic>  <corr>widow</corr>. After this I enterrd the Married State
a 2.<hi rend="superscript">d</hi> Time with M.<hi rend="superscript">r</hi> <hi rend="underline"><persname>Andrew Roller</persname></hi>. <unclear>Connctor at 3duny</unclear>
I had a very happy life with him which lasted 17 Years, and god bless'd <add>in <placename>Poland</placename>.</add>
us with 3 Sons and 3 Daughters, 2 of my Sons are yet living, The one
in Clergyman at <placename>Heiniz</placename>, the other a Surgeon in the Single Brns
House here. As I had a loving and sensible Husband, I thought I would
endeavour to lead a life that should please God, and did all I could to
serve him, but this my good intention brought me into such Confusion
that I scarce knew what I did. I read frequently in the Bible, and <sic>allthough</sic>  <corr>although</corr>
