_hurt yourself_, and if you do not _feel_ any ill efects _now_ [...] _you_ shorley will if _you_ lives untel you are old." I thought it was quite reason that he preached to me. I thought I was going too far with it, and that Satan had some hand in it; so after he watched me like a child, and if I was not presant at the time of meals, he would come and fetch me, and I must go with him, he would not be denied. Praise be to God that I ever saw his face, he was allwayse more mindfull of me than he was of himself; so I continued to take breakfast for eight or nine days and then left it off again, and I unely staid without suppar twice a week. This place was again a blessed chainge indeed. We had a large garden to walk in, from six in the morning untel seven in the evning, I suppose not less than three acres of ground, with fine gravel walks in it and sume apple trees, etc., so I was like a bird left out of a cage. I suppose I had not sung aloud to be heard with[71] man for many months before. I _was_ allways surounded with[71] man, but then I _used to go_ out with my book in my pocket, seat mys_elf under_ a tree, and if I could not see any person, sing _so loud_, I suppose I might be heard for a mile off.

I went to bed at ten o'clock, and got up in the morning at four. All the people still full of friendship to me; but I keept myself still to myself as much as posable, without giving an ofence. There was there amongst the whole number aboute sixty nuns, one of whom I conversed with more then all the rest; seldom miss a day, if she saw me, but what she would have sume thing to say unto me. But I had not French enough to enter into any depth of Religion, but I never heard one sound of persuasion from her to turn to her Religion. Once I remembered she asked me, saying, "Carter, did not you feel your self very sorry when you was first convinced of sin?" or sume thing to the same purpas. I was struck with wondar where she got that from. I think I may safely say she was a burning and a shining light. She had small suplys often from _her_ [...] _fat_her's house, and well she had it often as it was _possible. It was al_wayse in her powar to govern her own mind. _Every day_ she would give allmoste all she had to the poor, _or to any_ person she thought that wanted; lived allmoste _entirely on_ bread and water herself. She have often told friend _C._, "Do not leave
