I followed him to the county town in which he was lodged, where shortly after I saw him tried, convicted, and condemned.

I then, having made friends with the jailor's wife, visited him in his cell, where I found him very much cast down.

He said that my mother had appeared to him in a dream, and talked to him about a resurrection and Christ Jesus; there was a Bible before him, and he told me the chaplain had just been praying with him.

He reproached himself much, saying, he was afraid he had been my ruin, by teaching me bad habits.

I told him not to say any such thing, for that I had been the cause of his, owing to the misfortune of my eye.
