from going to Meetings and though she was up early and the Journey pretty far five seven or eight Miles and went a foot sometimes yet this Child was never the least concerned in sleep or heaviness that I did perceive for always when I looked upon her I found her in a solid sober and weighty frame of Spirit which hath caused my Heart many a time to rejoyce in the Lord on her behalf at the time called Christmass she went to a Neighbours House they having pretty many Children and they were playing at Cards this Child sat her down by the Fire-side where the Woman of the House was and said Had not thy Children better be exercised in Reading c. the Woman said she thought they did no harme but before this Child was gotten half way home which was about half a quarter of a Mile these Children fell out as they were at their Game and were ready to fight then the Woman remembred the Childs Words and confessed to the truth of them this Woman came to visit this Child in the time of her Sickness and told us this Passage One time it was with her to Write to her Brother John he being something wild viz. Dearly beloved Brother in the Fear of the Lord do I exhort thee to Leave off Liteness and Vanity and then to wait upon the Lord and desire of him to forgive thee that which is past c. In the fore end of her Sickness one night she being in Bed and I and her dear Mother also in the same Room the Power of the Lord ran through her and she being very much troubled with a great Hoarsness all the time of her Sickness in so much that one could hardly hear her speak but at that time with a very clear voice she broke forth in Praising and Magnifying the Lord with a very sweet Harmony and said Blessed and Praised be the Lord for he is gathering a People to himself to do his Will Praises to his most holy Name for ever and kept Praising and Magnifying the Lord a pretty time but her Words were something lower so that we could not hear them all This Child did take great delight in Reading Friends Books that is Epistles to Friends and in William Bayly's Book and in the Prophesie of the Prophet Isaiah about the 51st Chapter where God Calls and Exhorts his People to trust in him if she had but a little spare time she would imploy it in either Reading or Writing she had an excellent Gift in Reading which greatly comforted and refreshed most that heard her for sometimes it would take such impression upon the tender-hearted that Tears would trickle down their Cheeks for she did read with the Spirit and with the Understanding also many things more I might mention as to her sober behaviour to all she was concerned with her comliness in her Apparel a needless thing I never did see her wear she hath left a good savour behind her and is gone to her everlasting Rest with the Lord for evermore for she did truly Remember her Creator in the days of her youth She departed this Life the 21st day of the 11th Month 1680. in the 17th year of her age at Partney-Mills in Lincoln-shire I Buried her decently the 23d day following at Tumby-Wood-side in the parish of Kirkby upon the Baine in Friends-Burying-place so desiring not to be tedious and having somewhat eased my Spirit I desire to rest in peace with the Lord and in Charity with all Men. Written in Partney By Thomas Brown the Elder THE END
