administred with all the rights of our Holy Mother the Church, our dear sister, Sister Dorothy Collett Standford the 50th year of her age and 30th of her Profession, since which time she hath given us an example of an ardent love to God, & her Neighbour, never being satiated in her desire for the perfectionating herself, & for the advancement of God ?s glory, & the Salvation of Souls, which made her with much alacrity, altho of a tender constitution to imploy herself in the most servile works of our Convent, until some few years before her death, that her heavenly spouse was pleased to visit her by continual infirmities, which she bore with no less fervour, than patience. We humbly crave the assistance of your Prayers for the repose of her Soul. Requiescat in Pace.
