She was born Novem. 1634. in Southwark near London: the only child of Mr. John Godeschalk, alias Godscall. Her Father dying in her Child-hood, she was left an Orphan to the Chamber of London. Her Mother after married Mr. Isaac Barton, with whom she had the benefit of Religious Education. But between sixteen and seventeen years of age, by the serious reading of the Book called The Saints Everlasting Rest, she was more throughly awakened, and brought to set her heart on God, and to seek salvation with her chiefest care: From that time forward she was a more constant, diligent serious hearer of the ablest Ministers in London, rising early, and going far to hear them on the week days, waiting on God for his confirming grace in the use of those ordinances, which empty unexperienced hypocrites are easily tempted to despise: The Sermons which she constantly wrote, she diligently repeated at home for the benefit of others; and every week read over some of those that she had heard long before, that ⟨p. 146⟩the fruit of them might be retained and renewed: it being not novelty that she minded.
