A token for children being an exact account of the conversion, holy and exemplary…

20. Another time her Father bid her be of good cheer, because she was going to a better Father; at which she fell into a great passion, and said, but how do I know that? I am a poor sinner that wants assurance: O, for assurance! It was still her Note, O, for assurance! This was her great, earnest, and constant request to all that came to her, to beg assurance for her; and, poor heart, she would look with so much eagerness upon them, as if she desired nothing in the world so much, as that they would pity her, and help her with their prayers; never was poor creature ⟨p. 9⟩more earnest for any thing than she was for an assurance, and the Light of Gods Countenance: O the piteous moan that she would make! O the agonies that her Soul was in!

21. Her Mother asks her, if God should spare her life, how she would live; truly Mother, said she, we have such base hearts that I can't tell; we are apt to promise great things; when we are sick, but when we are recovered, we are as ready to forget our selves, and to turn again unto folly; but I hope I should be more careful of my time and my soul, than I have been.

22. She was full of natural affection to her Parents, and very careful least her Mother should be tired out with much watching. Her Mother said, how shall I bear parting with thee, when I have scarce dried my eyes for thy Brother? ⟨p. 10⟩She answered, The God of love support and comfort you; it is but a little while, and we shall meet in Glory, I hope. She being very weak, could speak but little; therefore her Mother said, Child, if thou hast any comfort, lift up thy hand, which she did.
