Reading Experience:

Evidence:

'I could read well when very young (as is before hinted) spending much time with my afflicted father, I read much to him; and the experiences and sufferings of faithful martyrs, and of our worthy friends, with the accounts of the glorious exit of such as launched out of time in full assurance of everlasing bliss, made profitable impressions on my mind; my spirit being often tendered thereby, and my love of virtue and piety strengthened; so that I may truly say that such holy persons, "though they be dead, yet speak".'
