She had many extraordinary Discoveries of the Glory of God and Christ; sometimes, in some particular Attributes, and sometimes in many. She gave an Account, that once, as those four Words passed thro' her Mind, WISDOM, JUSTICE, GOODNESS, and TRUTH, her So I was filled with a sense of the Glory of each of these divine Attributes, but especially the last: Truth, said she, sunk the deepest! And therefore as these Words passed, this was repeated,TRUTH, TRUTH! Her Mind was so swallowed up with a sense of the Glory of God's Truth and other Perfections, that she said, it seemed as tho' her Life was going, and that she saw it was easy with God to take away her Life by Discoveries of himself. Soon after this she went to a private religious Meeting, and her Mind was full of a Sense and View of the Glory of God all the Time; and when the Exercise was ended, some asked her concerning what she had experienced: and she began to give them an Account; but as she was relating it, it revived such a Sense of the same Things, that her Strength failed, and they were obliged to take her, and la• her upon the Bed. Afterwards she was greatly affected, and rejoiced with these Words, Worthy is the Lamb that was stain.
