MEMORANDA
almost every step yet according to my faith in the precious promises of God, deliverances have as often come. I think that I can say as truly, as at the close of any {former? for year?}, that I have made some progress, towards the cellestial City. Generally Speaking I have enjoyed the blessings of a full salvation, though at times, I must confess that the wrath and condemnation of God have been upon me, for sins committed, often willfully.
