to shrink from the bitter cup, yea, at seasons to sink under it, yet in a firm belief that her day's work was done, and her redemption sealed, I have at times been favoured to feel a degree of humble resignation, and to bless the holy hand that both gave, and has taken away; attended with a secret animating hope, that I may ere long be mercifully permitted to rejoin her spirit in the peaceful abodes of unalloyed harmony and bliss.

"She had for a considerable time been in a debilitated state, but there appeared no alarming symptoms till about the middle of the Third Month, 1805, when her complaints increasing, myself and her other friends became very anxious about her, and we prevailed on her to go over to Staines, and consult her brother William Tothill. She set out, accompanied by her brother Kidd, on First-day morn, taking a most affectionate farewel of me, though I believe we neither of us believed it would be the last embrace; but so it proved.
