A short testimony concerning Katherine Allardes late wife to Iohn Fulertoune of Kinneber who departed this life the last day of the last Moneth called February 1670. SHE was a woman of extraordinary patience and meeknes and of few words that having been near 23. years married with her I cannot say that ever I saw her angrie though she could and did correct her children and keept them in as much avve as most and did reprove undutiful servants or others very plainly and downright and yet without hastie rash words for never in her life can any say that they have known her to take the name of God in vaine or let fall from her any of the so recokened pettie oaths she hade alwayes water in readinesse to cast upon the breaking forth of any appearance of fire in any person After our Marriage once or twice I came upon her in the fieldes when her eyes were streaming forth teares at prayer and I beeing earnest to know what weighted her spirit if it was dissatisfaction of her marriage after much pressing she at length told me it was not any thing of that but she was grieved for that she often testified against that I should comply so much with the prophane drunken neighbours and others that frequented my house and if I continued that way of entertaining them the Lord would depart from our familie which words though I made little ansvvere unto them then they were as bread cast upon the waters She was also very extraordinary diligent in her calling and employment as is well known to all about her and had the care and accounts of all my corns and rents and when I was often dissatisfied that she her self did spin and handle yarne so much she would answer she had not peace in her minde to be unimployed in some honest necessarie work and would tell me if the Lord permit the enemies of the truth to take our estate from us or banish us therefrom for conscience sake I can said she through the Lords assistance mantain thee and my children in a comfortable way And she often said I am wholly out of covetousnesse anxiety or fear of want knowing that I have a good and loving Provisor who never failed me I often would speak of our many children and what I should do with them her ordinary answer was if they fear the Lord they have enough and we have enough of the things of this life to leave amongst them if they fear not the Lord there is too much to give them I am willing they suffer for their folly Some years ago my estate being very much run under debts so that in the reckoning of all it was ruined and all our relations gave us advice to sell it and save something of the price and these who were filled with malice and the spirit of persecution against us because we denyed their way to be of God and would not longer eat of their polluted Sacrifices being about 13. years agoe they triumphed and insulted over our hard condition when they heard of my creditors beginning their work against me and our estate their words were we see God bringing him down and going to spew him out of the land for it was reckoned I was going to Ireland as I did conclude to do which words wounded me as arrows not for my estate I can say but because they who are now brought down would get such advantage against the precious truth because of which I being much brocken in my spirit for many weeks I was not wholly satisfied that she was not as much touched She told me she was little moved with that aparent change at all After some days the Lord in condescendence to my weakness was pleased to show me in a very plain clear vision that my estate and house near faine should be recovered which I not believing within twenty foure houres thereafter he dowbled the vision againe and shew me the way how it should come to pass which is not fit here to mention lest swine should tear and mock the which I did then tell her she told me she was alwayes confident the Lord would do that for us or else that which was as good And after some years when a change began to appear on our outward condition and that it was told that some witless idle talking people said we had gotten money sent us from another place she would answer that it is little matter what they say for they know not him who is Lord of all who hath seen it meet to bless now when men hath cursed But Balaam cannot curse Israel but we never received money from others except such as were due to us for fair barganing c. Nor never could we said she so long as we had of our own to furnish us food and rayment or could help our selves by labour and much have we given but never yet received on any such account knowing it is better to give then to receive She loved such of the Presbyterians as was of a sober serious conversation and for their zeal for curbing of wickedness among the people and there making some difference betwixt the Precious and the Vile but she had a great contrariety to their spirit of persecution and concluded if ever they got the flesh they so much lust after viz. power it would be for a further stroake and bitter cup except the Lord redeemed them from that spirit of rigidity bitterness and persecution of tender consciences She loved that little more moderation which appears in Episcopals but hated the loose ungodly lives of most of them and believed the Lord would in his due time meet with them because of their conniving at or not curbing this flood of iniquitie broke forth in the Nation under that government She was one who was more then ordinary acquanted with and had the secrets of the Lord revealed to her which I can truely witness though its like I shal be but little believed by the benighted world I might name more nor now I shall but a little touch I have freedome to give When about 11. years since he called Mr. Thomas Cowper Minister at Montrose had excommunicatted me after the space of some moneths one morning on the first day of the week called the Sabbath she and I approaching to wash our hands she said the Lord hath let me see that Thomas Cowper is laid by useless
