For they prove to my
satisfaction the truth of an overruling ^ ud particular Providence , a persuasion that took deep root in the bosom of the good Mrs . Cappe , and awakened those devout sentiments of gratitude and trust which animated that zeal in the service
of God and man , which hatli rendered her tlie object of esteem and love of an admiring world . To the care of this Providence I recommend you and yours , and with kind regards to your beloved partner , I am yours , &c , JOHN FOLLETT .
