She was seized with a fit of the like kind as heretofore, and manifested a sense of her approaching dissolution; with calmness and composure said she was ready; and discovering her daughter to weep, continued, "do not mourn for me, my child, for it will be well with me;" and having been assisted to the door for air, she said to those about her, "carry and lay me on the bed that I may die in peace." In a short time she quietly departed this life, the 30th day of the seventh month, 1794, and was decently buried the

at Somerset, after a large and solemn meeting of Friends and others. And we doubt not but she is one of that number of whom it is said, "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours: and their works do follow them." Aged upwards of sixty years, and a minister about forty years.

Signed in behalf of our monthly meeting of men and women Friends, held at Somerset for Swansey, the 6th of the fourth month, 1795, by

DANIEL BRAYTON, Clerks.
