Excerpt from Living Testimonies, or Spiritual Letters on Divine Subjects, Vol. 2 of 2 About this time it pleased God to impress my mind with a full persuasion that I must be born again, and that if I died in my present state I could not be saved; this caused me to seek much to God in prayer, that he some bring about this good work. I was convinced of the vanity of my natural religion, and made sensible of my blindness and ignorance, and that all my knowledge of the doc trines of the gospel, without the power, was vain. I wished to be a weary and heavy laden sinner; for then, I' thought, there might be great hopes of my salvation: but vainly thought that I had not been wicked enough ever to be loaded with guilt and bondage as some are.
