IN THE WORK OF THE MINISTRY, OF THAT FAITHFUL SERVANT OF CHRIST,

Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. Dan. xii. 4.

Her father, when a nestly desiring, that in all things she might be soldier under Oliver Cromwell, being con- perfectly resigned to answer the Divine requirvinced of the ushering in of a dispensation ings; after many deep baptisms and refinings, which abolished the use of carnal weapons about the nineteenth year of her age a dispenfor the destruction of men, laid down his arms sation of the Gospel was committed to her; and was discharged. for the publishing whereof she became emiHe was soon after called into another war-nently qualified, and in a short time gave proofs fare, and in those times of hot persecution, of a truly evangelical minister.

He became an able minister of the everlasting Gospel of peace and purity, and travelled much, with good success, for the promotion thereof.
For this daughter, the only child left of seven, his care was great, to watch over and restrain her from evil, and to inform her, so far as her infant years were susceptible, in things relating to religion and a future state; wisely guarding against suffering the affection ate part to indulge her in any thing of a tendency to her own hurt, or which would bring a reproach on the testimony given him to bear to others.
These early endeavours, through the divine blessing, made deep and lasting impressions on her mind; and although when very young she was deprived of the help of so worthy a parent, he being removed by death when she was not quite eleven years old; yet she kept near VOL. V.-No. 1.
ance in the work was with awfulness; her testimony to the unrighteous was as fire amongst stubble; but to the humble, afflicted travellers towards Sion, it ran in a free stream of encouragement and Divine consolation.
She was sometimes led, clearly and with great authority, to speak of a day of trial which would come upon this nation, wherein their sandy foundation would be shaken, and their polluted rest broken, and a decision made between the nominal professors of religion and those who were in the life and practice thereof.
Her conversation in the world corresponded with this high calling; in her family she kept a tender and watchful eye over those under her notice. She was quick in discerning and prudent in admonishing; some reaped the advantage thereof, who still retain it in remembrance.
