Reading Experience:

Evidence:

And a Sermon of Mr. H. Hickman's at Oxford, much moved her (on Isa. 27. 11. It is a people of no understanding, therefore he that made them will not save them, &c.) The Doctrine of Conversion (as I preached it as now in my Treatise of Conversion) was received on her heart as the seal on the wax. Whereupon she presently fell to self-judging, and to frequent prayer, and reading, and serious thoughts of her present state, and her salvation.
