28. That which was not the least observable in her, was the ardent affection she had for the holy Scriptures and her Catechism, in which she was throughly instructed by the godly Divines of the place where she lived which she could not but own as one of the greatest mercies next the Lord Christ. O how did she bless God for her Catechism, and beg of her Father to go particularly to those Ministers that had taken so much pains with her to instruct her in her Catechism, and to thank them from her a dying Child for their good instructions, ⟨p. 38⟩and to let them understand, for their encouragement to go on in that work of Catechising. how refreshing those truths were now to her in the hour of her distress. O that sweet catechising, said she, unto which I did always resort with gladness, and attended without weariness!

29. She was much above the vanities of the world, and took no pleasure at all in those things which usually take up the heart and time of young ones. She would say, that she was grieved and ashamed both for young and old, to see how glad and mad they were upon vanity. and how foolishly they spent their time.

30. She was not forgetful of the care and love of her Master and Mistress which taught her to read and work, but she desired that thanks might also be particularly given to them. Indeed she thought she could never be thankful enough ⟨p. 39⟩both to God and man for that kindness that she had experience of: But again and again she desired to be sure to thank the Ministers that instructed her either by catechising or preaching.
