Mr John Law, another of the miniſters of the city came to her on Tueſday the third of the ſaid month and aſked her, how ſhe was! She anſwered, I hope ⟨I⟩ am going to Chriſt, he will not leave me, I truſt in him, he is on his coming now! Being enquired if ſhe was willing to die?

Yes, ſaid ſhe again, I have had many ſins, many black ſcores, but there's a pardon at every ſcore, and I will hope in him, he will not leave me. When ſhe was aſked if ſhe was uſed to ⟨p⟩ray?

Hath he not done it?
