6. She could scarce speak of sin, or be spoke to, but her heart was ready to melt.
7. She spent much time in reading the Scripture, and a Book called, The best friend in the worst of Times; by which the Work of God was much promoted upon her Soul, and was much directed by it how to get acquaintance with God, especially toward the end of that Book. Another Book that she was much delighted with, was Mr. Swinnock's Christian Mans Calling, and by this she was taught in this measure to make Religion her business. The Spiritual B•e was a great companion of hers.
