hid nothing but by degrees as she could and had opportunity did declare her ways and backslid ings wherein she had transgressed against the Lord and his people even from the first to the last of these her wandrings that had brought her to this shame and did very much take the shame of all to her self yet still always said that such iniquities of filthyness and uncleanness of the flesh as were now become hers were not so formerly nor had she such natural promptness that way for temptations to work upon but did always detest and abhor it all her young time both single and married and therefere her iniquity was the greater in yeilding and suffering her self to be over come as she had done but having once given way to and dallied with temptations thinking her self strong enough to resist them when she would sin got dominion over her and it became more then her own iniquity and then still desirous to keep a name Among her friends was unwilling to reveal her temptations snares and weaknesses to them and so got no deliverance Yea though many times filled with horrour yet was there a secret desire cherished to hide and hold fast deceite a refusing to return Therefore that God was righteous in all and gracious in thus judging she oft fully abundantly and freely acknowledged and did very much abhor her self as more vile then we could immagine and did willingly accept of the punishment of her iniquity in the shame brought upon her and that because she saw by faith that there was yet help for her in the name of the Lord though she had destroyed her self And indeed she was much helped by it and being through a deep fence of her need engaged to a more earnest giving heed to the things she had heard and that she might now know them as she ought to know them more seriously then ever giving attention to reading to exhortation and doctrine she profited much in the time of her imprisonment and grew to a more clear and right understanding of the Gospel of Christ and of the great things therein belonging to her peace and God did create the fruit of his lips in that gracious word peace to her which led her with great desire and delight to exercise her self therein day and right she much longed after the company of her faithful friends and bewailed her neglect and slighting such opportunities as now her soul thirsted after She was much conversant in a little Book lent her Intituled Instructions to the Living from the consideration of the future state of the Dead in which Gods imputing righteousness with out works and justifying the ungodly and things pertaining thereto is treated of so that it became her own in reading and searching the Scripturns whether those things were so and was much affected with it and appeared to have met with much help to her understanding increase and strengthening to her faith and hope through so weak a means which yet to her was not weak she could not but commend it to others and desire them to read it After which I gave her my Papers that are now made publick Intituled Fornication Cendemned which she oft red and seriously pondred both in the Manuscript and after they came out in Print and desired many others to read and consider the same as that in whith she met with great help and mercy and others might in reading be helped with that which would preserve and deliver them from such sins and snares as she had fallen into She was much exercised in reading the Parable of the Prodigal Son in the Gospel and seemed to have much right understanding in it and help by it and met with such refreshing from the consideration of his Fathers receiving him with so great joy and in such manner as is there expressed as would not let go but pleaded for and stil rejoyced in though she met with some repulses something like the woman of Canaan There was in her whole carriage a mixture of passionate sorrow and tears in the remembrance of her sinnes and consideration of the shame brought on herself and frinds and occasion given to the adversary to blaspheme that worthy name called upon her yet never without hope in the mercy of God through Jesus Christ which indeed truly melted and broke her heart A mixture of this I say with chearfulness of spirit and face in which though she had more true rejoyceing in the Lord then it may be many did think or then some more pure then their maker could brook that such a sinner should so soon have in the joy of his salvation restored yet there was also a mixture no doubt of flesh as also to her sorrowings I say a mixture of flesh appearing in too much lightness of spirit by fits unbeseeming her condition but it was her natural infirmity augmented by evil communications and customes some remainders of which were yet to be seen upon her to the last and oft bewailed by her and though some were offended and straightned towards her on sight of it sometimes yet without good reason for was she not even a brand pluck●t out of the fire and i● it strange to see the smell and blemishes of the smoak and fire still to remain on such a brand And are not we also our selves compassed about with infirmity and liable to remptations yea have we not sin dwelling lusting and warring in us And can we not then have pi● bowels and compassion even towards the ignorant and them that are out of the way Yea on our poor broken Brethren and seek to restore and heal such with the spirit of meekness considering our selves least we also be tempted Oh how short are we of like mindedness to that servant of the Lord who is Lord of all that seeing many things that might provoke and straighten his hand and heart towards us yet doth not so observe them against us who blind as the Lords servant See Isa 42.19 She had some injury by being put in hopes of saveing this life by some that it may be might have done more then they did had they had a favour for her in order to the saveing it yet the most that I perceived her cherishing such a hope was from a mistake of her own through which she perceived that which was right I had it from her self I cannot said she be without hope of Gods mercy in delivering me from this further judgement that I have deserved at his hand and sparing this life to me a little longer that I may recover more strength before I go hence to know him and glorify him as I have dishonoured him and to endeavour the bringing up my children and the reason of my hope is only in the mercy of God that is so exceeding and abundant And hath so abounded towards me a vile wretch which encourages me to hope for more I answered that did give her ground of encouragement still to look for his mercy
