Preventing Accusations of pride reads, "I cannot express to man the affliction that lay upon my spirit; but the lord helped me at that time to express it to himself. I opened my bible to read, and the lord brought that precious scripture to me, Her.xxi.16, Thus spite the lord, refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears, for thy work shall be rewarded, and they shall come again from the land of the enemy."
