The last time that she had opportunity for this work, was two or three days before her delivery in Child-bearing; where she finally recorded the apprehensions she had both of her bodily and spiritual State in these words, [Drawing near the time of my delivery, I am fallen into such weakness, that my life is in hazard. I ⟨p. 155⟩find some fears of death, but not very great, hoping (through grace) I die in the Lord.] I only mention these hints, to show the Method she used in her daily Accounts. To those Christians that have full leisure, this course is good: But I urge it not upon all. Those that have so great duties to take up that time, that they cannot spare so much to record their ordinary passages; Such must remember what others record, and daily renew repentance for their daily failings, and record only the extraordinary, observable, and more remarkable and memorable passages of their lives, lest they lose time from works of greater moment. But this excellent work of Watchfulness must be performed by all.
