1. 1Pro. 4.18.

The way of the just is as a light shining and growing and enlightening unto, or until the prepared day. The description agreeth singularly with this Saint of God; the grace of God in her, was a light very conspicuous, shining in a Gospel adorning conversation, and growing or going, still ascending and gathering strength and illuminating; Scattering beams of of light and warmth until the prepared day, or perfect day, the day that is prepared unto perfection, And ⟨p. 79⟩oh how early did this shining Christian attain to her prepared perfection!
