This Pious Person, One more Wise unto Salvation than any that the Roman Orator had ever heard of, when God called ⟨p. 46⟩her to make her Sight a Sacrifice unto Him, had this Reparation of her Blindness, that she had the more Lively Sight of Things in the Kingdom of God; she more distinctly viewed those Things, which if they could be seen with our Eyes, we would find the Love of them Wondrously raised in us. Every one will Delight and Wonder saw, A Soul dwelling in Ease! Her Submission to the Will of God: Her Admirations of what she saw in a most endeared JESUS: Her Thankfulness to them who brought the Word of God unto her, which was continually done by one or other, almost all the Day long; Her Chamber a very Chapel wherein something of Devotion was ever going on; A little Anti-Chamber of Heaven! The unexpressible Pleasure she took in Prayer to God: Her Fruitfulness in Religious Conferences: Her Affectionate Love to the Children of God: Her profound Humility, perpetual Self-Abasement, Self-Abhorrence: And her lively Anhelation after the Heavenly World, with a most finishing Resignation to her Saviour, for His own Time, and His own Way to bring her unto it.
