Memorials of early piety. Occurring in the holy life & joyful death of Mrs.…

I have not Complemented the Memory of the Deceased Person; or treated her, as a Basil his Julitta, a Nyssen his Pulcheria, a Chrysostom his Pelagia, and a Jerome his Marcella. Nor have I been labouring to make an Addition unto Beverovicius's Catalogue, of, Women that ⟨image ?⟩have been Considerable. I have only Shown some of the Garments of Righteousness; I will not so much say, Made by a Younger Dorcas; (only that the Needle-work of her Pen was Employed thereupon:) but Worn by her, and Made, I should rather say, by the Good Spirit of Grace, whose internal Raiment of Needle-work, renders the Daughters of the LORD, all Glorious within. The Account, I hope, is Modest; and without Flourish; And every thing in the world forborne, but what was thought might be Useful.

The Lamp found in Tulliola's Tomb, was not of so much use, as that Shining Piety, which is in such Papers, as we find in a little Trunk of a Young Agatha departed from us. We are with a mighty Advantage told, what should be done, when we are at the same time shown, what has been done, in a course of Piety.
