23. The Lords day before that in which she died, a Kinsman of hers came to see her, and asking of her, whether she knew him, she answered; yes, I know you, and I desire you would learn to know Christ: you are young, but you know not how soon you may die; and O to die without a Christ, it is a fearful thing: O redeem Time, O Time, Time, Time, precious Time! Being requested by him not to spend her self: she said, she would fain do all the good she could while she lived, and when she was dead too, if possible; upon which account, she desired that ⟨p. 11⟩a Sermon might be Preached at the Funeral concerning the preciousness of Time. O that young ones would now remember their Creator!
