A short Relation of some words and expressions that were spoken by Barbara Scaife in time of her Sickness a little before she departed this life She was betwixt fifteen and sixteen years of age Daughter to William and Issabel Scaife of the Blacksike near Appleby in the County of Westmerland In profession of the Principles of Light and Life in Christ Jesus Which those People commonly called Quakers do bear Testimony to and had fellowship with from their Child-hood and had a Care upon them to bring up their Children in the fear of the Lord and in the knowledge of that Truth which they had believed in and which their Children were in their tender age truly acquainted with THe following expressiions were delivered from the said Barbara in the presence of divers persons her Parents also being with her for the most part during the time they were spoken by her And are given forth in honour to that Truth whereof none need be ashamed but for the Blessing sake that accompanies the same may be encouraged to take their part therein whereunto also the aforesaid Damsel upon her dying bed hath testifyed and may be of service to all young people to love and fear the Lord in the dayes of their oyuth that their lives may be comfortable to them and their latter end peace and their Memorial blessed for ever The thirtith day of the first Month 1686 was the said Barbara taken with sickness and her Sister Mary also both of them beginning therewith in one and the same hour The distemper proved to be the small Pox Barbara the first week of her distemper was sorely loaden therewith but bore her exercise very quietly The first of her words as relating to her inward state betwixt the Lord and her own soul that were taken notice of She delivered on this wise Mother said she suffer but few of those People that come to see us to stay in the Parlour but when they have seen us desire them to go into the house for we have no need of such empty talk as is used amongst too many we would be quiet that we may pray to the Lord to forgive us the faults we have committed and if he spare us our life at this time I hope and do believe we shall amend and have a care of displeasing the Lord while we live After which words she spake very little for four dayes time ●●d about the seaventh day of her sickness and the sixt of the second Month She asked where her father was her Mother told her he was at the Plough she said Let some call him in for I believe I must leave this world shortly And after a little time she begun to pray to the Lord with a very clear voice in a Miraculous Manner saying O Almighty God I cry unto tbee and beseech thee blot out all my Transgressions O Lord and all my sins O let them come no more into thy remembrance I beg it of thee in the name of Christ Jesus with all my Soul and with all my strength and let thy fafourable countenance be upon me Thus she prayed in a wonderful heavenly frame desiring the Lord also to make her passage sweet unto her by his consolating spirit and that he would satisfie and enable her Parents so to bear it as that they might not offend the Lord and that he he would confirm and strengthen her weak Sister to give up her self freely as she blessed God she her self had done She prayed to the Lord to give her a Mansion place in his favourable presence and that no more might be laid upon her Parents then what with Patience they might be enabled to bear She continued her supplications to the Lord for about three quarters of an hour to the admiration of those that were present with her and several being there that did not profess the Light and Truth which she testifyed to and dyed in were broken into tenderness to the shedding of many tears and said how can any dye better then she is like to do The said Barbara called her Brother to her bedside and she fastning her eyes upon him said Brother John be faithful to the Lord and thy Religion and it may fall out that when thou art a Man the wicked Persecutors may hurry thee into Prison for the Testimony sake thou hast to bear be sure thou do not regard that but keep faithful to the Lord and he will deliver and be thy Reward She exhorted her Parents not to trouble themselves with too much of the worlds concerns But said she Let that to some which you have here it beng a Remote place and go to live near some good Meeting Sedbergh Meeting if you can if my Sister and I be both taken frm you and take my Brother John with you and bring him well up I desire you and be all of you content And one that was not of the same profession which her Parents and she were of being then present asked her if she could freely part with Father and Mother Brother and other Relations She answered saying I can freely part with and leave them all for the enjoyment of that comfort and happiness which my soul is made sensible of She prayed again unto the Lord with praises also in her mouth unto him magnifying also the riches of his grace and goodness for the comfort she had received from him to her Immortal Soul at another time her Mother endeavouring to get her to take some meat I desire thee said she do not trouble me with meat for if you think thereby to keep me it is all in vain for I must die and leave you Neither would I desire to live for all the world For to be with the Lord is better then ten thousand worlds with whom I shall rest for evermore even with God and his Saints his faithful People and Servants the Sons and Daughters of the upright glory to his Name for evermore At many times duriug her sickness she manifested unspeakable love to her Father and Mother and to her weak Sister touching whom she said to her Mother do not stay with me what ever may befal me but go to her and abide with her for I do desire that too sharpe sickness may not fall on her until she know her peace with God She said again Dear Mother do not sorrow for me and perswade my ●●ther not to weep for fear of offending the Lord and least 〈◊〉 ●e longer kept from that Heavenly rest which the Lord hath prepareed for me with the redeemed of our God for ever Then her Brother coming to the Bed side she said to him John be true to the Lord and love him with all thy heart and with all thy Soul all thy life time And love not the World nor the pleasures thereof for the enjoyments of this World are in comparison nothing they are scarce seen till they are gone but that which is enjoyed with the Lord is for evermore praises
