A short TESTIMONY for Ann Whitehead.

COncerning dear Ann Whitehead, and my truly loving Friend, whom I have kown above 20 Years, I have this in my Heart to say, That she was a Good Woman, fearing God, and doing that which was right in his sight; having a Tender Heart, and a Charitable Mind; being a Help to the Poor, and a Strength to the Weak; do∣ing always what she did for the Lord & his blessed Truth-sake. Oh, how good hath her Counsel been, and how sweet and refreshing were her Words unto me many a time, which begat great Love in my Heart towards her, and a true Sorrow for her removal, because of the great loss and miss, I know there will be of her among Friends.

contented, for she is at Rest and Peace with our God, there to abide in ever∣lasting Happiness forever and ever∣more.

Dear Ann is gone unto her Rest, Of Women sure, one of the Best; True Wisdom had she from above, Filled with Vertue and true Love; So that to us her loss was such, Caus'd Tears and Sorrow very much: But since it doth to us befall, And God did to himself her call; Let us beg of him that he will, Our Women with his Spirit fill, And make them able to withstand Truth's Opposers on ev'ry hand, Till they Gods Work have finished, And all in Peace laid down the head, And Crown'd with Glory in Heaven, So let it be, O Lord, Amen.
