Psalm, beginning, My soul praise thou the Lord always, which ended, she said, At the Teaching of this Psalm, began my troubled soul, first effectually to taste of the mercy of my God, which now to me is more sweet and precious, then if all the kingdoms of the earth were given to me to possess them a thousand years. The Priests urged her with their Ceremonies and Superstitions. To whom she answered, Depart from me ye Sergeants of Satan: for I have refused, and in your own presence do refuse all your abominations. That which you call your Sacrament, and Christs body (as ye have deceived us to believe in times past) is nothing but an Idol, and hath nothing to do with the right Institution of Jesus Christ, and therefore in Gods Name I command you not to trouble me. They departed, alleging, That she raved, and wist not what she said. And she shortly after slept in the Lord Jesus, to no small comfort of those that saw her blessed departing. This we could not omit of this worthy woman, who gave so notable a Confession, before that the great light of Gods Word did universally shine throughout this Realm.
