Exploring the Variety of Random
Documents with Different Content
 *Friday 23. Glory be to God, though the enemy rages, I enjoy a
calm peace in my soul. But this evening I found little power to pray.
I believe it was owing to disorder of body. Yesterday I kept my bed
all day. I am still much indisposed. But I was much delighted with
the amiableness of Christ. And I saw the great need we have of him,
and shall have, when we stand naked before God. I saw the worth
of Christ exceedingly, and loathed myself and all my own
performances: yet being persuaded, that neither life, nor death, nor
things present, nor things to come, should ever separate me from
his love.

Tuesday, February 3. I have been confined to my bed by a fever,

from Saturday till to-day. I found not much joy, but patience and
peace, and sweet tranquility of mind: especially when sister Pearce
prayed with me. I found a longing desire to see some of my other
sisters. But, when one of them came, I could not speak to her at
first, I was so overcome with joy. The Lord blessed us in the
afternoon also, when Mr. Storey prayed with us. Glory be to his holy
name, for christian conversation; and for all the other helps we
enjoy, to make our calling and election sure.

Monday 23. All yesterday and to-day, I have been much

disordered by the cholic. At six this evening I bowed before God in
prayer, and gave myself up to him. I then resolved to try, whether I
could not go to the preaching. I went, and was better after it than
before. While I was in strong pain, the enemy thrust sore at me: But
I did not give place to him for a moment. Blessed be God for a
tender conscience! I find, if ever I speak a word unawares; if it is
not right, I see it immediately, and am grieved that I was not more
on my guard. Lord, help me to watch and pray every moment, that
all my words may be to edification!
 Monday, March 2. Blessed be God, for the love I have felt
yesterday and to-day, under the preaching of Mr. Haim. O may it
sink deep in my heart, and spring up into eternal life! I find Satan is
continually tempting; but he has no success. I want to be more of a
child-like spirit; to live more in Christ, and always near to God.

Thursday 5. My husband and maid both being sick, my body has

been much exercised this week. But, glory be to God, I have enjoyed
constant peace, and many blessed refreshings. Nor have I found one
anxious thought concernings their living or dying.

Sunday 15. God was pleased this week to afflict my body with
sickness. I mostly kept my bed. Sometimes I had doubts. Is it not,
because I do not speak more to my poor mother? Or because I have
taken too much upon me, in being leader of a band? But these
doubts did not trouble me so much as the close reflections I had
from my husband. Twice I wept concerning it; but then I thought,
the sorrow of the world worketh death. I looked to the Lord, and he
delivered me. And I said to him, Shall I one day see thy face,
without a veil between? And shall I stand at thy right hand, in the
great day of accounts? And how clear an assurance of it did he give
me! I find earnest desires to drink deeper of his Spirit, that I may be
always the same, all of a-piece at all times and in all places, and
may have a solemn awe resting upon me, in business and company,
especially among professors of religion.

Thursday 25. I was much grieved this evening at the

stubbornness of my child. Lord, bless the correction, and give her
thy grace, whatever thou with-holdest from her! And help me to
discharge my duty toward my children, in this and in all things.
 Thursday, April 2. I saw more than ever the necessity of simply
following my blessed Lord: And the great need of grace rather than
gifts; although gifts also are great blessings. Lord, on whomsoever
they are bestowed, may they beg thy aid, to use them singly to thy
glory. I find an encreasing zeal for God and his people. I long to live
more to God, and to have less to do with the world; and am
sometimes tempted against my husband, for incumbring himself so
much with it. Yet I am thankful to God for these outward blessings:
But my whole aim is, to be more devoted to God.

Wednesday 8. I want to have every thought brought into

obedience to Christ: And to feel continually the awful sense of the
presence of the great God! I have had a thankful and a melting
heart, to think what blessed helps my children have in their tender
years; and indeed, in looking back on my own life, and on the
blessed showers of grace, which God has poured upon me, from
time to time, in christian conversation. Lord, give me a thankful
heart, and fulfil in me all the good pleasure of thy will!

Monday 20. Glory be to God, that I am out of hell, and that I still
find, God is a God of love. My desire is, to begin now; to live this
moment, and believe for the next. I have been for some time
confined to my bed, and am still confined to my room. But all is well,
while I am enabled, in every state, to be content. I have had a week
of close trials and temptations; but of deep consolations likewise.
But I see I am still short in bearing all things, and in discerning the
enemy’s first approach. Yet glory be to thy great and holy name, for
what I do enjoy. O help me to prize thy blessings more, and to
believe and love to the end!
 Sunday 26. In the morning, before I rose, wandering thoughts
were thrown into my mind. I begged the Lord to give me power to
drive them out; and he heard my prayer. He gave me likewise a
thankful heart, to think how richly he had provided for me, in
temporals (while so many were in pressing want) as well as in
spirituals: I could not help weeping before the Lord, and asking,
“Why me, or mine? Why hast thou given me this composure of
mind, more desirable than all this world? Lord, give me to press
after more inward solitude, and keep and water me every moment!”

Sunday, May 3. Glory be to thy great and holy name, for all thy
blessings and mercies: But above all, for my dear Jesus: I feel the
value of his blood and merits more than ever. I find myself all
weakness and helplessness: his blood is all my plea. Through this I
enjoy great peace of mind; although much indisposed in body. But I
have been in doubt what to do. I said, about a year before I found
peace with God, that I would not eat any more flesh suppers, except
I was with child. But, as my present disorder was thought to require
it, I eat this evening a little of a calf’s foot. Lord, keep me from
scrupulous fears after it: Let not the enemy accuse me for it. Help
me in this, and all things, to extol thy love and guardian care.

Monday 25. Glory be to God for new desires to serve him: Lord,
encrease them every moment; and enable me to put in practice
every desire, and every resolution, which is to thy glory! Let me
never be weary of well-doing; but endure to the end, that no man
take my crown!
 Sunday, June 14. To-day I was at the house of mourning, at
sister Pearce’s, whose child was near death. It was an happy time.
While we read the experience of some departed saints, the Lord
showered down his love upon us. After the boy died, I thought, Who
can tell, what a blessed convoy surrounded us, although unseen by
mortal eyes? And I had strong faith, that, through the blood of the
Lamb, I should one day meet the saints above. I found also great
faith for the welfare of Zion, and hope that the Lord would soon
build her up. In my late indisposition, I found little activity and little
power to pray. And I found the enemy taking every occasion to
tempt me: But there was nothing in me to side with the temptation.
Glory be to God for pure love! Glory be to Jesus Christ, my Lord! O
continue to reign supreme Lord over every motion of my soul!

Thursday 25. Blessed be God, I enjoy a steddy peace, and

evenness of mind. But illness weighs down my body and soul, so
that I am not active in the service either of God or man. I found my
own spirit very near in reproving: But I looked to the Lord, and was
saved. And I was kept in a great measure from reasoning. On the
closest examination, I found nothing but love in my heart. But I long
to have all that mind which was in Christ Jesus my Lord!

Monday, July 6. At night, after I was in bed, I found my mind

wander after distant things. I found it hard to fix my mind on the
Lord only; but, glory to him, the fountain is still open. I have been
much better in body to-day, and have been able to pour out my soul
to God, more freely than for some time past. Indeed for some time I
have had little life in prayer: But, blessed be God, he even then gave
me power, which I had not, when I could rejoice to go to prayer, and
found it sweet to my taste. He only knows, what is best for us. And
when I was tried to-day, he gave me a meek and quiet spirit. But I
believe I spoke afterward more than was necessary; yet, blessed be
God, without condemnation.
 Saturday 11. At a funeral, I was much tempted to look at those
who were still in their sins, and to prefer myself before them. But
presently it came, Who maketh thee to differ? For a moment I sunk
almost into despair. But I thought on the love of God, and received
comfort. So busy is the enemy, first to lift us up, and then to cast us
down.

Tuesday, August 4. Glory be to God, in the midst of trials, I was

as calm as if I was out of the body. In the evening, while I was
earnest in private prayer, I felt as it were a dart shot through me. I
started a little, but still kept calling upon God, till I was more than
conqueror.

Saturday 8. This evening I was obliged to speak on behalf of the

injured. And I thought it my duty to speak sharply, though still in
love and meekness. I found love for God and his cause constrained
me so to speak: For I hate every thing that would dishonour him.

Sunday, September 9. I was closely tried from a near quarter:

But I was kept in peace. I wept to myself, to think of the sore
bondage sin had brought upon them who are under the power of it.
It gave me to see the uncertainty of all things but the love of Christ.

Sunday 29. I was disturbed soon after midnight, and again a little
before day. I did not wake any more, till almost six. I was grieved to
be disappointed of the preaching, and yet contented, seeing there
was no will of my own in the omission of it. All this day I had a
solemn time. My soul enjoyed peace and tranquillity, and I found it
good, to leave the things of time behind, and to wait simply upon
God.
 Thursday, October 1. When the select society met, I was much
tired, and very heavy. But the Lord was pleased to bless others in a
glorious manner. Immediately it was suggested, “This is false fire: or
why am not I affected!” I begged the Lord, to answer for himself.
And, before we parted, I had the petition I asked of him, and was
refreshed both in soul and body.

Saturday 3. Being much disordered in body, I was obliged to lie

down. I dreamed I was exhorting some people of note, in an
exceeding solemn manner. And I was so happy in God, that I
afterward felt the good effect of it, even upon my body. Yet, in the
end, methought I was tempted to lightness. See how Satan besets
us sleeping and waking!

Tuesday 6. I had strong desires to be filled with God, and I find

faith that I shall; that I shall be entirely devoted to God, and that
every moment. My heart is more enlarged in love to all mankind,
particularly to my brethren; and I have power to cover their faults
with love, and to pray for them. Blessed be God, that his work is
spreading among us: More and more are brought to the knowledge
of God: And many are going from house to house, to call upon God
and tell of his goodness. It is no wonder therefore that Satan rages:
But I trust he will be disappointed of his hope. The Lord make us
faithful, and keep us every moment watching unto prayer!

Sunday 18. Glory be to God, I find the fruits of the Spirit

encreasing; particularly by means of private prayer. Indeed the
enemy thrusts sore at me therein, striving to make me afraid, till I
sometimes cry out, “Shall I be afraid to thank and praise my God?”
He then presently flies, and immediately the Lord showers down his
blessings upon me.
 Though I have been kept by sickness from the public means, this
has been a sabbath of rest to my soul. I had a solemn, peaceable
time in reading, and a glorious time in private prayer, between five
and six. And in the evening, the Lord poured his grace on my heart,
as the dew upon the tender herb. I never saw so much of his
greatness before. Lord, fill me with this awful sense of thy majesty,
and let me be kept every moment in that silent heaven of love!

Sunday, November 1. I have kept my bed for some days, being

much disordered in body. But, glory be to God, he has many times
refreshed my soul with his love: particularly, when I have been
favoured with the company of his dear children. When they called
upon him in prayer, he was pleased to hear, and answer even while
they were calling. In general, I have found calm composure of spirit,
a deliverance from my own will, patience and resignation to the will
of God, and power in the hour of temptation. But I want more
strength of faith and love; for I find the enemy is always watching.
And sometimes he comes very near, striving to sow the evil seed
again. But, glory be to God, he has saved me yet, though sometimes
I have been scarcely saved: So that I see I must live this moment to
God, and watch and look to my dear Lord every moment.

Monday 2. When I waked, my husband soon began talking to me

about worldly business. It was lawful, but I quickly found it was not
expedient: For I had not so much power to pray as usual. But, in the
evening, blessed be God, I waited upon him in a sweet, calm peace,
at the preaching. Only I found a little reasoning, “What if I should
fall in labour?” But it was quickly removed: And though my body
failed a little, yet I was freer from wandrings than I ever was for a
long time.
 Thursday 5. The Lord does still bless me and keep me; but I
come short of what I desire to be. In the morning I find strong
desires to be wholly devoted to God in every thing. But in the
evening, I find I have still come short, though without condemnation
and fear. Blessed be God, I am kept from inordinate sorrow for my
dear friend’s illness. Lord, prepare me for the same hour. And, if it be
thy blessed will, rebuke the disorder, and raise her up, for the good
of her family, and of thy people.

Sunday 8. The Lord was pleased to call her to himself. The day
before she seemed much better. But in the evening she fell worse
again, and this morning, about nine, departed. When word came of
this, I was not shocked at first; but in a while I began to reason on
what had passed between us the evening before. She then said,
“When death seemed nigh some nights since, the enemy thrust sore
at me, and said, This will be thy end: But I said, Not without God’s
permission: He can bring me down to the belly of hell, and bring me
up again, as he did Jonah out of the whale’s belly. But it is one thing
to talk of death, and another to have it brought home to us.” Then
her husband, and children, and friends came near, and sorrow
seemed to overwhelm her. But she said, “God is able to bless and
keep them, without me, if he is pleased to take me. And if he is
pleased to spare me, I can do nothing for them, without the Lord.”
When I reflected upon these things, not watching unto prayer, I was
quickly encompassed with a flood of temptations: So that I never
remember to have passed such a night, since I knew the goodness
of God. I could not sleep till six in the morning. But, glory be God, I
had peace at the bottom, and continued striving with all my might.
About Monday noon I found ease, and at five in the evening, I could
wait upon the Lord without distraction. On Tuesday I had such a
sweet and resigned will as I scarce ever had before. I was much
taken up with the blessedness of heaven, and had no doubt but I
should be there; but had no will of my own to die or live, only as the
Lord should please, and not one reluctant thought concerning the
leaving of my friends or family. I lay quite passive in the hands of my
dear Lord. O may he ever keep me so!
 Mary Pearce was a woman of good sense, which, mixed with
grace, was exceeding amiable. She had great light as to the spiritual
life, could see the state of our souls, and set them before us as clear
as the sun. She was of a spirit that sympathized with every one,
both in their temporal and spiritual trials. Indeed her own life was a
life of trials; which, she always said, was best for her, and no more
than was needful to keep her from pride, and to break her stubborn
will. But she bore all her trials with sweetness of temper, and never
mentioned them but to a near friend. She was a dutiful child, a
tender parent, an affectionate wife, and a faithful friend. May I tread
in her steps, and follow the example of her patience to the end!

Friday, December 18. I am much burthened in body, and

confined by reason of my burthen. Yet, blessed be God, I have
patience to bear it, and tarry his leisure. I have been much tempted
to an angry zeal, against some of my unconverted relations. But I
saw the snare, and was delivered. Sometimes it is a cross to go to
private prayer: but I still have peace and love. In meeting my band,
I saw and felt my weakness very much. Yet the Lord blessed us,
while we called upon him. Lord, bless me in the approaching hour of
trial. Bless what is formed in me, and, if it live in this world; may it
be devoted to thy service. Sanctify her sickness to my child, that is
now under thy correcting hand. Prepare her for life or for death: and
may I, and all my dear children meet at thy right-hand.

Sunday 27. I see more and more, that every thing I receive, is for
the sake of my dear Lord, and that I always want his precious blood,
to wash and keep me clean. Blessed be his name for faith in him. I
find his light discovers darkness more and more. It is a great thing
to come empty to God. Lord, help me to come wholly out of myself,
to come to thee, as at first I came, and to return to thee all thou
givest me. And help me in the approaching trial, to glorify thy great
and holy name, either by life, or by death. To me, to live be Christ,
and to die be gain.
 Wednesday 30. Though I was greatly burthened in body, I
enjoyed much peace of mind. But I was desirous, that those who
had so highly dishonoured God should be openly expelled from us.
Lord, lay thy mighty hand upon them, and sink them into deep
repentance, that they may cry mightily to God, that he may enable
them to return to him, from whom they have so deeply revolted.

Friday, January 1, 1768. Glory be to God for his unbounded

mercies to me, in the year that is past. Thanks be to God and the
Lamb, that he has given me to see the beginning of another year.
Whatever time I live, may I live more to his glory, than ever I have
done heretofore!

Saturday 2. This day has been a day of faith, and peace, and
love: and my soul has been much drawn out in prayer. Now let me
expect fresh trials, after such a shower of blessings.

Sunday 3. Though I am still confined from the outward means,

which are highly desirable, yet, blessed be God, I find him present
with me, keeping my soul in perfect peace. But I doubt I spoke more
words to-day than were to the glory of God. O let the blood of thy
Son, Jesus Christ, still cleanse me from all sin!

Sunday 10. Though much disordered in body, I enjoyed much

peace and love in my soul. I calmly expect the Lord to deliver me of
the fruit of my womb. But I do not find any will, but to glorify God;
either by life or by death.

Sunday 17. Many times I have not power to speak: but, blessed
be God, I find much thankfulness for all his mercies. My desires are
still strong for God and his work, and I find an increase of peace and
patience. In meeting my band, and in family prayer, he blessed us in
an uncommon manner. But the more blessings I receive from him,
the more I see and feel of my own weakness.
 *Saturday 23. When the Lord opens my hand, to relieve the want
of any of his poor creatures, I find still there is need to cry to him,
that I may give him all the glory. Blessed be his name, my own spirit
is dying daily. Yet I sometimes find it a cross to go to private prayer;
but so much the more am I blest therein. And the Lord greatly
blessed us in family prayer, when I earnestly called upon him, to
come and destroy inbred sin out of the hearts of those who know his
pardoning love.

Sunday 24. I had a longing desire to speak very plainly to my

dear mother. But I could not; I could only pray with her, and read to
her some passages of scripture. But, blessed be God, he has
answered my prayer, with regard to my family’s keeping the Lord’s
day. Lord, enable them always to keep a sabbath of rest, and to find
rest in their own souls!

Sunday 31. Glory, and thanks, and praise, be to God and the
Lamb, for his unbounded love to such an helpless worm! Blessed be
his holy name, I enjoy peace, and love to God and all mankind. I
have no desire to live, unless to his glory: but, through the burden
and pain of my body, I cannot put my desires in practice as I would:
blessed be God, that he takes the will for the deed. Lord, help me in
my present condition, to glorify thee by patience: to be content to
suffer as long as thy goodness pleases, and to wait till thy good time
is come. And let me regard neither pain, nor ease, but as it brings
me nearer to my dear Lord.
 From Tuesday to Friday I was quite confined to my bed. On
Tuesday, I had much liberty in meeting my band: but since that
time, I have had little power, except at intervals. On Friday evening,
it was strongly suggested to me, “Thou wilt fail, when thy hour of
trial comes.” I immediately told my husband: he prayed with me,
and I found liberty. Yesterday morning, the same temptation
assaulted me strongly: but I spoke of it as soon as it came. And
since that time, blessed be his name, I have felt it no more. Lord,
help me! Lord, keep me every moment! Keep me to the end, for my
dear Lord’s sake!
 A short A C C O U N T of

A N N J O H N S O N.
By J o h n J o h n s o n.

1. HE was born at Lambeth, October 17, 1717. Her mother died

Swhile she was young. About sixteen, she married a seafaring
man, who by his extravagance exposed her to many difficulties.
Often in sailing from port to port, to prevent, if possible, his wasting
his money when he came from sea, she was in great danger, and
then made many resolutions; but they quickly died away.

2. On February 14, 1747. Her husband brought her to Dublin. But

she was still the same: “I do not remember, said she, that I had any
thought, whether I had a soul or not, till I was about twenty-eight
years old.” At that time she began to reflect with terror, on the
immortality of her soul. She saw and felt, that hell was her just
desert, and could find no way to escape it. She knew she was under
the wrath of God, but knew not how to appease it. She went from
church to church, and endeavoured to do whatever she was taught;
but found all she could do was nothing. Sometimes indeed her
convictions subsided for a time; but returned with double violence.
The cry of her soul continually was, “Lord what must I do to be
saved? Shew me the way wherein I should go!” Thus she went on
for several years.
 3. About fourteen years ago she heard Mr. Thomas Walsh preach
in the New-room. She said, “He made my soul tremble exceedingly.”
Her fears were rather increased than lessened. But the eyes of her
understanding were not opened, with regard to the true method of
salvation. Afterwards she heard “that blessed man of God,” (as she
justly called him) Paul Greenwood. She then saw, that by grace we
are saved through faith, and at the same time, sin received a mortal
wound. She determined, nothing should prevent her seeking the
pearl of great price, that precious faith. She had much opposition;
but nothing stopped her soul on full stretch for salvation. Such was
her desire to hear the word, that frequently when she was locked
into the room, up one pair of stairs, she got out at a window. She
directly joined the society, and counted all things loss, so she might
win Christ.

4. It was not long before it pleased God to remove the opposer

out of the way. She now frequently received much comfort: but that
did not satisfy. Nothing could give her lasting comfort, till she knew
her sins were blotted out. This she earnestly sought both in private
and public, missing no opportunity of hearing the preaching. And
one Sunday morning, as Mr. Deaves was giving out an hymn, God
was pleased to reveal his Son in her, and to enable her to say with a
clear confidence, “He has loved me, and given himself for me.” It
was with much difficulty that she refrained from crying out, and
exhorting all to praise the Lord. She now delighted to run the way of
his commandments. Her heart was enlarged. Both her heart and
hands were open towards those that feared God, and had her power
been equal to her will, none of them should have wanted any thing.
For some months she walked as on the wings of the wind.
 “Jesus all the day long

Was her joy and her song:

O that all his salvation may see!

He has lov’d me, she cried,

He hath suffer’d and died

To redeem such a rebel as me!”

Though her outward situation was disagreeable, being

surrounded great part of the day, with those who constrained her to
see and hear what her soul abhorred; yet his grace was sufficient for
her, and she remained always rejoicing, and praising the God of her
salvation.

5. After some months, it was shewn her, that the seeds of sin
were not yet rooted out of her heart. Yet she did not let go her
confidence in God, neither lose the power over her besetting sin,
which was anger. And it was her principle, not to rest an hour,
without a feeling sense of the love of God.

6. On October the 9th, 1760, by the providence of God, she and

I were married. She was truly an helpmate for ten years, three
months, and two days: during which time we could truly say, there
never was any thing but love and tenderness toward each other.
There never was, that I remember, but once, any appearance of
what is called a quarrel. And in a few hours she saw, it was not her
business, to interfere with the discipline of the society.
 7. Although there was the most tender affection between us, yet
so exceeding great was her love to souls, and her desire for their
welfare, that she was willing at all times for me to go to any part of
the kingdom, without ever saying, “If you must go, stay a few days
longer.” And if I was absent three or six months, nay, a whole year,
which was once the case, she never complained. She could part with
husband, or any thing, to glorify him, who had done so much for
her. The last time I spoke of leaving her, she was ill. My friends then
advised me, not to go. I was inclined to follow their advice, as there
appeared little hope of her recovery. But she insisted on my going
where Providence called, saying, “I never have hindered you yet.
And if I should do it now, I believe it would be displeasing to God.” I
went, and after an absence of three months, returned just at the
time, when she was taken with that last illness, which prevented her
going out any more. And for my coming home just at that time, she
praised God to her latest hour.

8. During the last ten years of her life, she had many and great
conflicts. The sense of inbred sin, and of her having so many times
offended God, after she had known his love, often lay heavy upon
her mind, and pierced her with deep sorrow. The earnest desire of
her soul was, to be wholly given up to God. But she was tormented
with that fear, lest she should not glorify God in life and in death:
particularly, lest by any improper behaviour at her death, she should
be a reproach to the gospel. Likewise anxious care about the world,
sometimes exceedingly distressed her. She was tempted to fear, lest
she should live to be a burden to the society. Or, at least, till she
could not be helpful to others, as she knew, it was more blessed to
give than to receive. But thro’ the mercy of God, none of the things
which she had feared came upon her.
 9. Above two years ago, the disorder which occasioned her death
began to be violent. Yet she did not abate her diligence, to support
herself and family, till July 1769. Her pains then so increased, that
she had no ease night or day, only when she slept, which was
seldom more than an hour or two. But notwithstanding this, she
could not be prevailed upon to keep her room before Christmas.
From that time she was in exquisite pain, as tho’ her bowels were
tearing asunder. She often said, wearisome nights and days are
appointed for me. Yet in the sharpest pain, she never charged God
foolishly, or once said, he dealt hardly with her.

10. During this long confinement, she felt a keen conviction of

her past unfaithfulness, together with a piercing sense of inbred sin.
And on both these accounts, she was often crying out in deep
distress, God be merciful to me a sinner. She steddily believed, it
was the privilege of God’s people, always to feel the clear witness of
his spirit. Accordingly she was always, either rejoicing in the Lord, or
deeply distressed for want of it. Even in the severest pain, she was
not satisfied with patience, unless she had joy in the Lord.

11. She often would say, “The devil tells me, the peace I feel is
only stupidity: that I have been an hypocrite all my life, and never
was converted. But I can with confidence answer, this is false. I
never desired to deceive either myself or others. I know the Lord did
awaken my soul, and convert me to himself. And I cannot accuse
myself of lukewarmness in my duty since. I have seldom wilfully
missed my class, or band, or a sermon. Yet the manner in which I
often performed those duties, causes my soul to tremble. My body
was present: but often, too often my mind was engaged in my
business. Herein I must plead guilty before God, and he might justly
have cast me out of his presence.”
 12. All this time the hand of the Lord was underneath her, and
did not suffer her to sink in the deep waters. Yet she often
complained, “I cannot rejoice in pain,” whereas St. Paul says, Rejoice
in tribulation: and that happy soul, Nancy Rogers said, “Every pain is
a spring to my soul, to lift me up to heaven.” I told her, “When you,
like Nancy, are near your end, you may triumph over pain also. But
should it be otherwise, your eternal state does not depend on that.”
She cried out, “Nay, but what the scriptures declare, and what
others have experienced, is for me.” She did not fear being cast into
hell: yet her distress, at times, was exceeding great. She was
vehemently athirst for full salvation, and often broke out into deep
lamentation. “I am unlike the Lord! When shall I awake up after his
full likeness!” Sometimes she seemed just ready to lay hold on the
hope set before her. But she was checked by a sense of her
unprofitableness in the ways of God: and would often break out,
“True Lord, true! I am unprofitable indeed.”

13. At some times she was afraid, lest she should live to expend
all she had, and leave me in distress. But about a month before her
death, these fears vanished away, and she was quite resigned to the
will of God, leaving it wholly to him to do what seemed him good,
with her and all that she had. From this time she had no other care
than that which related to her soul. She was now released from her
severe pains, and her soul felt a solemn peace; tho’ she was still
frequently tempted to fear, lest she should deceive herself.

14. Near three weeks after, I was reading in the fifteenth volume
of the Christian Library, that section in Isaac Ambrose’s looking unto
Jesus, “Desiring Jesus with respect to his death.” The Lord now
turned his hand upon her, and caused her to feel his power. Her
body seemed to be forgotten; while her spirit rejoiced in God her
Saviour, crying out, “O the goodness of God, which directed that
passage to be read this night!” Then she began to sing
 “Thou shepherd of Israel and mine,

The joy and desire of my heart!

For closer communion I pine;

I long to reside where thou art.

The pasture I languish to find,

Where all who their shepherd obey,

Are fed, on thy bosom reclin’d,

Are screen’d from the heat of the day.”

From this time she did rejoice evermore; and yet longed to triumph
more. Her ambitious soul could not rest, till wholly swallowed up in
God.
 15. January 7. She desired to be taken out of bed. As soon as her
cloaths were on, she expected to have gone to rest. But God was
pleased to keep her a little longer in the body, for the comfort of her
surviving friends. As soon as she was a little revived, I asked, “If she
could stay her soul upon the Lord?” She said, “Yes, I can, tho’ I have
not always that full assurance of faith.” But the next morning, God
fulfilled the desire of her heart, and filled her with faith and love.
About ten she seemed just expiring: but she soon revived. I said,
“My dear, can you rely on the Lord?” She answered with triumph, “I
can; yes, I can. All is plain before me. There is nothing now in the
way. O the precious blood of God! O the precious blood of God! That
precious blood cleanseth from all sin and from all stains.” I asked,
“Has that blood cleansed you from all stains?” She said, “Yes, yes. It
has washed me, and it will still wash me.” I said, “For sorrow you
shall soon have joy.” She said, “Sorrow! I have had no sorrow. When
I think of what my Lord suffered for me, mine is nothing.” Indeed
the exceeding happiness she now enjoyed, made her forget all her
former pains. She said, “I shall be like him! I cannot tell what that is:
but I shall be like him.” The convulsions then followed each other
with little respite; but in the intervals, she was still praising God.
 16. Wednesday 9. In the morning she was in great agonies, but
said, “Lord, thou dost all things well! Now I have nothing to do but
to praise: every breath shall be praise. I have just conquered death.
O Jesus, thou didst bring me into the world, and hast preferred me
in the world, and hast brought me thro’ the world!” I said, “He has
brought you safe to Jordan’s bank.” She said, “O yes, he has, O that
I may go full sail into port! I have a blessed pilot.” This day many
persons came to see her. One said, “Blessed are the dead which die
in the Lord!” She replied, “So saith the Spirit: for they rest from their
labours.” A convulsion followed, after which she was light-headed:
unless any one spoke to her of the Lord Jesus. Then for a time, her
reason returned. She did not sleep the whole night, and her breath
was almost gone: yet she said, “I do not feel much pain.”
Thursday 10. Early in the morning she was again composed, and
said, “I shall soon be with him. I shall drink of the river that makes
glad the city of God. He has brought me out the white linen and put
it upon me. I see Jesus! I see Jesus! He is worth more than all I
have below.” This day she often dozed; but as soon as awake, said,
“O precious Jesus!” Thus she spent the day, and most part of the
night, saying, “I have often been weary of speaking of him: but now
I can speak of him for ever.”

17. Friday 11. She knew all that came to see her, and spoke to
several of them. About ten her daughter asked her blessing. She
kissed her, and said, “The Lord bless you and give you grace to be
dutiful.” Soon after one came, that was very dear to her. She would
have spoke to her; but at first was not able. But after a short time
she said, “Her voice has been pleasant to me. Farewell. I shall soon
be in heaven;” These were the last words I could understand; but
she was sensible to the last. About twenty minutes before one, she
fell asleep.
“Thus may we all our parting breath

Into the Saviour’s hands resign!

O Jesus let me die her death,

And let her latter end be mine!”

I WENT to see Ann Rogers, a young woman who had been for
several years a member of the society in Dublin. Two or three
years ago she believed God had saved her from all sin, and ever
since behaved in the most exemplary manner. “My body, she said, is
exceeding weak: but Christ is precious to my soul, and has not
suffered me in all my weakness and pain to feel one murmuring
thought.”

I enquired, how the work of God began in her soul? She said,
“May was six years I came to live with Mrs. Riggs, where Mary Feris
lived; at which time I had no notion of real, heart religion. But her
behaviour struck me, and not long after, I went with her on Sunday
morning to the New-Room. From that time I saw myself a vile,
helpless sinner, of which I was convinced more and more; yet with
strong hope, expecting deliverance under every sermon I heard, and
in every meeting for prayer. But in about two months my hope grew
weak, and I concluded God did not hear my prayers. Then deep
sorrow seized my heart, till one night going to bed, I cried earnestly
for mercy, and begged that if there were any for me, I might wake
time enough to attend the morning preaching. I awoke at the time.
In that moment I was enabled to believe, that God loved me. I
rejoiced unspeakably; I was happy in his love, and have never since
doubted of his favour.
 “This joy continued for some months, but with an earnest hope
of seeing greater things than these: those words being frequently in
my mouth, and almost continually in my mind,

Wrestling I will not let thee go,

Till I thy name, thy nature know!

And one day as I was sitting in my room, the power of God came
mightily upon me, and those words were applied to my heart, in a
manner I cannot express, Thou art all fair, my love: there is no spot
in thee. It is impossible to tell how my soul was filled with love:
surely it was angel’s food! I was called down to dinner, but could eat
nothing: On this one said, ‘Nancy, have you got the second
blessing?’ I did not know how to answer to this, or what name to
call it by. But I said, I never was so happy in all my life: I am quite
filled with love. And from that time I have continued, except some
weeks in the beginning of last year, (when I was hurt by disputing
about a third person) rejoicing evermore, praying without ceasing,
and in every thing giving thanks. My particular prayer was, that God
would give me all the grace which he had promised in his word.”

From the time that this disorder began, it was her constant
prayer, “Lord, if I recover, let it be to thy glory; if not, thy will be
done! Only do not take me hence, till thou hast finished thy work in
my soul.” This, she added, “is my whole desire. And I must bear this
testimony, the Lord Jesus hath always, on his part, been faithful and
gracious to me. And though, on my part, I have been much wanting,
yet he hath borne with me and mightily blessed my soul.”
 Her mother told me, “Yesterday I thought she was expiring; she
did not appear like herself; till she broke out, ‘The goodness of God
has been so manifested to my soul, that I could not speak. Those
words were spoke to my heart, I have loved thee with an everlasting
love. And, Thou shalt be mine, in that day, when I make up my
jewels. O! I have sweet foretastes of heaven! I would gladly go to
him my soul loves.’”

Sunday 9. I saw her again. She was then so weak, she could
hardly speak to be heard. But after I had spoke a few words of the
love of Jesus, she found strength and said, “The first Sunday in
February last, at the sacrament, I did indeed eat his flesh and drink
his blood. The glory of the Lord shone into my soul, and I felt so
much of his love, it was almost more than my feeble body could
bear: it was a real foretaste of heaven.” She said, “Three nights ago
I was in exquisite pain, such as I never felt before: but every pain
was a spring to my soul, to lift me up to heaven. I could thank him
for all, and methought I would not recover for the whole world.
Indeed the love of Jesus so ravishes my soul that I would not have
♦ one pain less than he pleases.” Then correcting herself she said,
“Pain! It cannot be called pain: his presence makes it heaven to me!”
One said, “He has brought you through the wilderness, within sight
of the good land.” She said, “O yes! O yes! He has; and he will be
with me through the valley; this I cannot doubt.” I then took my
leave and saw her no more. What follows, I had from those that
attended her.

♦ “on” replaced with “one” per Errata

She exhorted all that came, particularly those that sat up with
her, to redeem the time. To one she said, “O Sally, turn to God with
your whole heart: you have but little time:” and to them all, “Make
haste! Get ready! You have no time to spare.”
 Afterward Satan was permitted to thrust sore at her. Waking out
of sleep, she began to reproach herself, for sleeping, saying, “If I
had not slept, it would not have been thus with me. I cannot doubt
of the favour of my Lord: neither can I fear his casting me into hell.
But I am tempted to think, I shall have sore distress at the hour of
death.” This lasted some hours; but in the evening she said, “Christ
is come, and Satan is gone.” Nor was he suffered to trouble her any
more. All that followed was peace and love.

Yet she was exceedingly concerned for her mother, lest she
should not freely give her up to God. Her mother was asked,
Whether she could or no? She answered, “Since it is the will of God
to take her, I do give her up freely.” And this reply gave her entire
satisfaction.

The day before she died, the thought of being for ever with the
Lord, was transporting to her soul. But she said to her mother, “I
charge you when I am dead, let none of the wicked come into the
room. Let it be filled with those that fear God; and while they are
singing the praises of God below, I shall be singing them above.”

About three in the morning she said earnestly, “O precious Christ!

O precious Christ!” These were her last words: but she still
expressed her happiness, sometimes by lifting her eyes towards
heaven, and sometimes by looking pleasantly on those about her, till
her sight failed, and her spirit went up to God.

Some years before she died, she now and then wrote down a
little of her experience. I believe these accounts, imperfect as they
are, will be acceptable to the pious reader.
 “April 10, 1764. The Lord has blessed me in a wonderful manner.
Glory and praise to his great name! O that thy praise may dwell on
my heart! O my Lord, enable the unworthiest of thy servants, to give
thee thanks for thy unspeakable love! O that I could invite all to
taste and see how good thou art, how full of truth and grace! O thou
unexhausted fountain of love, enable me every moment to cast
myself upon thee, and to receive out of thy fulness grace for grace.”

I continued thus for five days, yet with many wanderings from
my God: but I had this cry in my heart, Dear Lord, deliver me from a
heart so prone to wander from thee!

Tuesday, May 22. As I was at my work, these words came to my

heart with power, I will take away the heart of stone, and will give
thee an heart of flesh. I was lost in wonder, yet found unbelief till
those words were spoke to my heart, Ye are clean through the word
I have spoken. I found a change in myself from that moment, and
could say, I love thee with every faculty of my soul. Truly I can say,
that God is love! And that he delights to do his needy creatures
good.

September 14, 1765. I had a greater desire than usual to retire

from the world: yea even from the converse of the holiest Christians,
to wait upon God alone. I wanted to have a closer acquaintance with
the blessed Jesus. Happy he that can go to God at any time, praying
to him with faith and fervency. My God, all my soul cries aloud for
more of thy light and love! O my Lord, manifest thyself in me more
fully! None living has greater cause to love and serve thee.

Sunday 15. The sermon at church caused some heaviness; but I

was refreshed at the Lord’s table. O Jesus, assist me to look through
every means, to thee, the fountain of life and love!
 Monday 16. The sermon was as marrow and fatness to my soul. I
did truly wait upon God. I have been happy this whole day: Jesus
has been precious to me. I found him in every means of grace: he is
near me in every time of need. I see much of my helplessness and
weakness.

Every moment, Lord, I want

The merit of thy death.

Tuesday 17. I have found this day, most comfortable communion

with Jesus, and free access to the throne of grace. Yet I have been
greatly tempted: but the Lord stood by me, and made a way for me
to escape. I want to be all attention to his voice, and to be more
dead to the things of time and sense: let me have no will, O Jesus,
but thine! Let thy will be done in me and by me!

Wednesday 18. This morning I was so stupid I could hardly pray:

but thou art not extreme to mark what is amiss. All the day I was
much hurried in business, and could not attend the public means of
grace. But in the evening he made up the want, giving me free
access to him in prayer: and therein he graciously refreshed my poor
drooping soul. O my God, let the fire of thy love burn up whatever is
not agreeable to thee. And let such a sense of thy free, unmerited
love rest on me, as may keep me ever low at thy bleeding feet!

Thursday 19. This whole day, though much employed in my

business, the Lord stood by me, and enabled me to look to him. In
the evening he made a way for me to hear his word, and I found it
good to wait upon him. He does fulfil his word, They that wait upon
the Lord, shall renew their strength. They shall run and not be
weary; shall walk and not faint.
