righteousness would expel that cloud and beat back the enemy And after some words I had to her I found that rock that alwayes in the wilderness followes and gives my thristy Soul drink then assisting me to pray before her bed after which she said she had met with refreshment about evening I enquired if the enemy continued yet his assaults she said nay the battel was ended and she had the peace and love of GOD running down on her Soul as a mighty river And after that dayly comforted and strengthened me exhorting me not to mourne for her and when I would be sitting by her at sometimes when some few of us used to meet together in the Family she would warne me not to neglect the occasion of waiting on the Lord and of meeting together and edifying one another And said she thou hast more reason then thousands to be zealous for the Lord seeing he hath done for thee beyond what he hath done for thousands not can thou say that ever he failed thee in the time of thy need and he will not faill to be a help to thee and thy children in my room The time of her sickness was really a constant praying time unto her and exhorting to the fear of God she said to her sister I can say since ever I knew the truth I never wittingly disobeyed the LORD Two dayes before she departed she said to me some had been the day letting fall that our friends did not pray in the Name of Iesus which she could not receive nor owne and enquired me if I knew any such I told her I knew none such nor would I owne such for the Scripture bids ask in the Name of Iesus as Iohn hath it chap. 14.13 and chap. 16.24 And there was no acceptance but in the Name of Iesus The night she departed being the last of the twelfth Moneth I desired her that after her speach failled while life continued she would let it appear her mind was fixed on the Lord by lifting up her hands which she did almost constantly for about two houres till her breath failled during which time her Sister speaking to me said what comfort would she now take of all the Kingdoms of the world if offered her she answered againe so as with some difficulty it was heard by my laying my ear to her mouth the Lords precious truth is the sweetest thing that ever she knew and a while after she said blessed be the day that ever I knew it repeating twice over Then I said to her sister I believe clouds are far from her now she answered away with clouds clouds are far from me Therafter we could discern her lips moving to take up this words often uttered LORD IESUS After speach failled she beckned to each child at home to come to her and having lift up her eyes and hands Heaven-wards she laid them on their heads and blessed them Then I rising to stand a little in the floor in a little space she missing me looked after me and said Dear and hastily I drawing to her breath was comming off and she moved no more Which was about the 12. houre at night of the last day of the Moneth called February 1670. and about the 40. year of her Age. The next day there came one that she dearly loved that came several times to her in her sickness viz. Arthur Straton of Kirkside his Wife who was desirous to see her and lay her hand on her the which when she had she said her face appeared to her as the face of an Angel that she never saw any thing whiter and had a red on her cheeks as it seemed at a distance and others testifie her beautie was wonderful to be seen on a dead body She was generally beloved of high and low in this part of the Nation which more appeared in her sickness by so many comming and sending to see how she was even some who had never seen her face and by the general sound of the multitude at the grave side who sounded such another woman they never knew and such a Lady was there never before in Kinnaber nor likely would never be againe for none upon earth can say they knew a spot in her conversation This I write not for exalting the creature and drawing honour thereunto but that the Lord may have the glory of his work wrought in her for to him is only due all glory honour and praise let all who have the breath of the Heavenly life exalt the Lord and abase self making it of no reputation even so Lord let this be thy work on me and thine own work shal praise thee IOHN FULLERTOUN Kinnebar the 9. of the first Moneth called March 1671.
