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.

The Admirable and Glorious Appearance of the Eternal God in his Glorious Power in and through a CHILD of the Age of betwixt Eight and Nine Years upon her dying Bed opening her Mouth to speak forth his Praise and Extol his Reverent Holy Name and Power A short Relation whereof together with her Exercise throughout her Sickness is hereafter collected or so much thereof as was by us certainly Remembred UPON the 13th day of the 7th month 1682. did the Lord Visit Sarah the Daughter of Thomas and Ann Camme of Camsgill with Sickness the which for about two days was but gentle upon her but afterwards grew more hot and extream increasing almost continually till she was in Mercy taken to rest with the Lord. Many sweet and comfortable Expressions passed from her all along in her Sickness when she was sencible being satisfied she should be taken away often signifying the same to us saying also That she was neither afraid nor unwilling to Dye but freely given up thereto in the will of her God desiring us many times to be Content and if at any time she saw us her Parents or Sister so concerned as to weep she would cry Oh! do not so do not so and take us in her Arms tenderly Kissing and Imbracing us About an hour and a half before her departure the Lord in tender Mercy was pleased to give her a time of ease and perfect sense and also in a wonderful and more especial manner in opening her mouth to speak forth and declara his high Praises who out of the Mouth of Babes and Sucklings can perfect the same and verily did at that time through this tender Child to the admiration of all that were about her and unspeakable Joy of her Parents and Relations part of those Memorable and Weighty sayings that through the Operation of the Power and Spirit of Jesus through her were uttered were presently written down as spoken and the rest added thereto as brought to our Remembrance for that end chiefly that God may have the glory of his own Work who is worthy forever The abovesaid 13th day being the 4th day of the Week and the day following her Sickness was not so Extream as afterwards it grew to be but more mild and gentle as beforesaid but upon the 6th day of the Week being the 15th day of the Month her Distemper increased to a great height of Extremity so that her Pain and Exercise was great yet notwithstanding she was very patient under the same only many Deep Sighs and Heart-afflicting Groans proceeded from her wherefore her Father asked her If she could not breath and pray to the Lord for Help and Assistance Her answer was She could and did and further said It was her Belief that the Lord the great God of Heaven and Earth he would keep her and preserve her Soul whatever might become of her Body and often she sweetly supplicated the Lord for his Assistance and Help also blessed praised his Holy Name And thus she continued in exceeding great Pain and Exercise yet very patient under it and sensible till about the middle of the first day of the Week following not having slept above a quarter of an Hour all those several days of her Sickness so that through want of Sleep and the violence of the Distemper her head grew light and she was at several times not so sensible in her Expressions yet very Harmless and Innocent for she still retained so much sense as to know all that were about her earnestly desireing and begging to be helped home to her own Bed saying That she could not Rest nor Sleep till she came there and the like and thus she lay till about the middle of the morrow being the second day of the week and the 18th day of the month only weakened and spent very much and then as we were helping her a little up upon the Bed she on a sudden as we thought fainted her head bowing down into her bosom whereupon we lifted it up but perceiving that she did not faint but lay still in her Fathers arms we waited by her a little while her Father being sensible and signifying the same to the Family that was standing by that there was a more then ordinary Exercise upon her Mind and Spirit notwithstandi●g she lay so quiet and still yea more then she had done for four days before for her Extremity had been so great that she turned every way and removed her Head Hands and Feet often from place to place before that time but after a little space through the power of an endless Life she was revived both in Body and Spirit and bore up her head and sate upright in the Bed as if she had been well looking upon her Parents Brother and Sister with several others about her with an exceeding Cheerful and Beautified Countenance being overshaddowed with the Glory of the Eternal God and his living precious Power filling her Soul by the Operation whereof her Mouth was wonderfully opened in many weighty and living Expressions many of which as to the Substance and sense as near as we could remember are inserted as followeth viz. My Sins are forgiven me and I shall have a Resting-place in Heaven Then looking upon her Mother she held out her Arms to her and renderly Embraced and Kissed her saying Oh! my Dear Mother there 's also a place prepared for thee in Heaven and thou shalt as certainly enjoy it as any here I do not said she desire my Mothers death or to be removed from you yet we shall meet in Heaven whether she said in a short time or in Gods time we could not certainly understand for her Voice after a while speaking grew low and weak and then she would pause a little and lye still till the Lords Power again revived and gave her Utterance in the time of her Stilness seeing her Mother and most about her weep she said Oh! do not weep do not so you should not do so I am well I am well never better since I had a day and kissed most about her one by one saying Do not cry but be content in the will of God for I am so Her Father perceiving that 't was an Exercise to her to see those about her to sorrow desired all besides himself who were on the Bed with her to withdraw for a while but quickly she called them in again and began to speak on this wise Shall I go down to the horrible Pit nay the Lord hath redeemed my Soul to praise his Name on High forever Oh! Praises Praises to the Lord Bless his Holy Name O my Soul and so went on in many sweet Expressions of Praise and sweet melodious Sounds for a pretty time then she called her Brother unto her and said Ah!
