On  recovering  from  a  renewed  attack  of  his  com-
plaint :

9th  mo.,  6th. — Once  more  I  am  risen  again  from  what
threatened  to  be  my  last  earthly  conflict — risen  to  be  again  a
witness  that  the  Lord  is  verily  a  God  near  at  hand  in  troubles
and  sufferings — yea,  my  beloved  sister,  to  understand  a  little
with  thyself,  the  meaning  of  that  Scripture,  "  Glorify  ye  the
name  of  the  Lord  in  the  fire."  0  that  I  may  more  abundantly
glorify  him  in  all  my  afilictions,  in  every  part  of  the  short
residue  of  my  life,  and  in  my  death ;  and,  through  the
unmerited  mercies  of  a  gracious  Eedeemer,  be  rendered  meet
to  glorify  him  during  eternity.
