Praises Praises to the Lord O my Soul Bless and Praise thou his Holy Name for Ever and for Evermore and spoke few or no more words but continued a pretty time in a sweet harmonious Sounding forth Praises making Melody in her Heart to the Lord very comfortable and refreshing tendering all that were about her into Tears being as cheerful in her Countenance as ever nay far beyond what it was in her perfect Health the glory of God overshaddowing and resting upon her the sense whereof gladed our Hearts abundantly and the Remembrance thereof is sweet to us beyond all Expressions being thereby raised in a great measure over the sense of sorrow for the loss of her and we acknowledge it to be an especial Kindness which our God in mercy blessed us with not only in restoring her to perfect sense over the violence of her Malignant Distemper which had for some time as aforesaid made her unsensible in her Expressions but also in his Wonderful Appearance in giving Mouth and Wisdom to this tender Child to speak forth such weighty and admirable things his favour herein we hope shall by us never be forgotten but he shall by us have the Praise and the Glory of his own Work who is Worthy God Blessed for Ever In the end of that Melodious Sounding which continued near half an hour she seemed to faint so that we supposed she would presently depart yet notwithstanding continued half an Hour longer and passed through several sharp Pangs but in the end finished very sweetly and our Spirits were sensible of her Ascending into endless Glory and there she rests with God the Father of Spirits in Joy Everlasting being taken from the Evil to come and freed from all Sorrow and Pain and Tears forever wiped from her Eyes Amen Amen From her Cradle she was a Child of a weak Constitution of Body afflicted with several Sicknesses by which she was kept low and tender in her Spirit exceeding sober never addicted to any Evil we know not of any that ever heard her speak any unsavoury word tenderly affected to all but especially her Parents and Relations delighted much in reading the holy Scriptures and especially such places as had relation to God's Appearance and Providence to Children she also took great Delight to read the Testimony of Friends to the Appearance of God's Power in Young Children whether in their Health or on their Dying Beds and had got several printed Books that had relation thereto Furthermore She had great delight in reading of the faithfulness of such as had suffered for Truths sake whether in this Age or Ages past and before she could speak plain or read perfectly she had got off Book by heart most of those sensible Letters written in Verse by Robert Smith Martyr to his Wife Brother and Children as they are inserted in the Book of Martyrs Great Pity she had to Poor People that came to seek Relief especially Children that she would not only have fed them but many times would have brought them on their way and sitten down with them in the Fields and often when she had seen plenty of Victuals Oh! would she say that such a Poor Child had this or that how glad would it make them In fine She was one in whom we her Parents had great Delight and Comfort ●lso tender and obedient was she at all times that her Father had never occasion given to use the Rod. The Loss of so good and hopeful a Child in whom we might have expected so great Comfort often comes near us yet with true Submission to the Will of God where we find Peace and Rest knowing that our Loss in her being removed from us is her Everlasting Gain Her Distemper was supposed to be the Small-Pox and a Fevour accompanying them although there was but little appearance of the Pox for they came little out only some small ones about her Face and Hands She Dyed in the Ninth Year of her Age wanting about Eleven Dayes of Nine Years being the 18th day of the 7th moneth in the year 1682.
