Eleven o'clock Thursday night
And saluting me very fervently , he gave me his hand , seeing me hardly able to stand , and led me to my chamber-door , and then most generously withdrew . I went to my closet ; and the first thing I did , on my knees , again thanked God for the blessing of the day ; and besought his divine goodness to conduct my future life in such a manner , as should make me a happy instrument of his glory . After this , being now left to my own recollection , I grew a little more assured and lightsome ; and the pen and paper being before me , I amused myself with writing thus far . Eleven o'clock Thursday night . Mrs. Jewkes being come up with a message , desiring to know , whether her master may attend upon me in my closet ; and hinting to me , that , however , she believed he did not expect to find me there ; I have sent word , that I beg he would indulge me one quarter of an hour . -- So , committing myself to the mercies of the Almighty , who has led me through so many strange scenes of terror and affrightment , to this happy , yet awful moment , I will wish you , my dear parents , a good night ; and though you will not see this in time , yet I know I have your hourly prayers , and therefore can not fail of them now . So , good night , good night !
