14. At the beginning of January last she was taken very bad again, in which sickness She was in great distress of Soul. When she was first ⟨p. 6⟩taken, she said, O Mother, pray, pray, pray, for me, for Satan is so busy that I cannot pray for my self, I see I am undone without a Christ, and a pardon! O I am undone! undone to all Eternity!

15. Her Mother knowing how serious she had been formerly, did a little wonder that she should be in such agonies; upon which her Mother asked her what sin it was that was so burdensome to her spirit: O Mother, said she, it is not any particular Sin of Omission or Commission, that sticks so close to my Conscience, as the Sin of my nature; without the blood of Christ, that will damn me.
16. Her Mother asked her what she should pray for, for her? she answered, that I may have a saving knowledge of Sn and Christ; and that I may have an assurance of Gods love to my Soul. Her Mother asked her, why she did speak ⟨p. 7⟩so little to the Minister that came to her? She answered, that it was her duty with patience and silence to learn of them: and it was exceeding painful to her to speak to any.
