5. She was a Christian of much plainness, simplicity & singleness of heart: far from a subtle erafty dissembling frame, & also from loquacity or ostentation. And the world was very low in her eyes to which she was long crucified, and on which she looked as a lifeless thing: Sensuality and pampering the flesh, she much loathed: When she was invited to feasts, she would oft complain, that they occasioned a difficulty in maintaining a sense of the presence of God, whose company in all her company, she preferred.

6. She was a very careful esteemer and redeemer of her time. At home in her family, the works of her general and particular calling took her up: When necessary business, and greater duties gave way, she was seldom without a Book in her hand, or some edifying discourse in her mouth, if there were opportunity. And abroad she was very weary of barren company that spent the time in common chat, and dry discourses.
