Excerpt from Friends' Miscellany, Vol. 12: Being a Collection of Essays and Fragments; Biographical, Religious, Epistolary, Narrative, and Historical

Many and various were the trials permitted to as sail her through the course Of her life; by which, as in the furnace of aflliction, she was proved, and came forth as gold tried in the fire. She was Of an even, cheerful disposition, seldom suffering the things of time to discompose her mind, but in heights as well as in depths, evinced the same meek lamb-like spirit; and having on the breast-plate of righteousness, she journeyed forward in the heavenly path, treading under foot all opposing spirits, until she gained the victory; the weapons of her warfare not being car nal but Spiritual, and mighty through God to the pull ing down of the strong holds of sin and iniquity. Thus she was led on from one stage of perfection to another, till she had in an eminent degree attained to that state which thinketh no evil; and being like the passive clay in the hand of the great Potter, she was fashioned and formed into a vessel according to his will.
