And in this sense, one's great enemies are oftentimes those of one's own house; and children, in their younger years, are greatly corrupted by the example and speeches of servants.

When she was about eight years of age, while reading the holy Scriptures, she happened to read these words, The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.' On which, reflecting on her own sinful state, she was struck with great terror, looking on herself as one of those against whon this is threatened. In this state.
