The excellent woman a sermon preached at the funeral of Mrs. Elizabeth Scott ...…

It pleased God to convert her presently after her first marriage, ¹when (as she hath often acknowledged) she before was a vain Creature carried away into the same pride and fashions, and neglect of God and of religion as other of her rank were. The occasion of her conversion was by a dangerous fall from an horse,² for in the days of her vanity she delighted much to ride a hunting; in her vehement pursuit of ⟨p. 76⟩which games Jesus Christ met her as once he did Paul and unhorst her, so that lying at his feet and having received in her self the s•nte••• of death both temporal & eternal she began to cry out (as he did) with trembling and astonishment, Lord what wilt thou have me to do, Act. 9.6.
