religion, it was more than she could bear; they were obliged to cease on
that account. It was a very frequent thing with her to be overcome with
the flow of affection to them whom she thought godly, in conversation
with them, and sometimes only at the sight of them.
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 through her mind,
wisdom, justice, goodness, and truth, her soul 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 though 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. When the
exercise was ended, some asked her concerning what she had experienced,
and she began to give 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 lay her upon the bed. Afterwards she was greatly
affected, and rejoiced with these words, Worthy is the Lamb that was
slain! She had several days together a sweet sense of the excellency and
loveliness of Christ in His meekness, which disposed her continually to
be repeating over these words, which were sweet to her, meek and lowly
in heart, meek and lowly in heart. She once expressed

ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not. Thou art our Father and our
Redeemer."
Moses himself told them that God would not accept persons. Deut. 10:17:
"God," said he, "regardeth neither persons nor sacrifices."
The Sabbath was only a sign, Exod. 31:13; and in memory of the escape from
Egypt, Deut. 5:19. Therefore it is no longer necessary, since Egypt must be
forgotten.
Circumcision was only a sign, Gen. 17:11. And thence it came to pass that,
being in the desert, they were not circumcised, because they could not be
confounded with other peoples; and after Jesus Christ came, it was no longer
necessary.
That the circumcision of the heart is commanded. Deut. 10:16; Jeremiah 4:4:
"Be ye circumcised in heart; take away the superfluities of your heart, and
harden yourselves not. For your God is a mighty God, strong and terrible,
who accepteth not persons."
That God said He would one day do it. Deut. 30:6: "God will circumcise thine
heart, and the heart of thy seed, that thou mayest love Him with all thine
heart."
That the uncircumcised in heart shall be judged. Jeremiah 9:26: For God will
judge the uncircumcised peoples, and all the people of Israel, because he is
"uncircumcised in heart."
That the external is of no avail apart from the internal. Joel 2:13:
