James Cosins informed me that he should bequeath part of his property to me; and if he found himself ill, and sent for Underwood, she was to attend him; as he should appoint her Executrix. On the 15th of November following, he sent for her. As he was judged to be dying, she attended, and found him very ill; but was a little recovered. He desired her to attend the next day, with two witnesses, as he had not made his will. The friends with him did not suppose that he would live till the following day; but the next morning I was answered that he would live to the will of the Lord on his dying bed; for the Lord would raise him up to do it, and have mercy upon him.-I went with the friends, as appointed, and found Mr. Cosins so much recovered, that he sat up in his bed and wrote his will with his own hand, in the presence of the witnesses. After it was signed, he delivered it into my hands, and said, "I die happy in this faith; but should not in any other." He made his will on the 16th November, and died on the 17th. The will runs as follows, after bequeathing some legacies-" The remaining part of my property, under every description whatever, and wheresoever, I give and bequeath unto Mrs. Joanna Southcott, Miss Jane Townley, and Mrs. Ann Underwood, for their sole use." Therefore, this is placed as a sign, that no one is to be received, coming in my name, without they can produce the probate of such will, proved at Doctors' Commons, dated the 5th of January,

1813.

I am likewise ordered to print the Register of my age: "Joanna, Daughter of William and Hannah Southcott, baptized the sixth day of June, 1750.-As appears by the Register of Baptisms of Ortery, St. Mary's Parish, Devon." The

above Register was taken out the 6th of May, 1810. I was born in April, but do not know the day of the month.

Another sign I am ordered to mention. There have been many impostors who have gone about in London, from whose scandalous conduct, and calling themselves Joanna Southcott, much mockery has been caused to my friends; and being misrepresented in various ways, I was inclined to have my likeness taken, in order to expose these false misrepresentations, when I should be no more. I was answered, it was the will of the Lord that it should be done. Mr. Sharp took my likeness, and engraved it. In it I had the bible placed before me, as opened by me promiscuously to the two last chapters of Isaiah.

These three signs are placed, in order that the Hebrews may not be imposed upon by any arts, that may be practised; as they are to receive no woman as Joanna Southcott, or coming from Joanna Southcott, without she can produce the above documents, and bring Mr. Sharp to prove it is the woman he took the likeness from. And now let them observe the following direc tions.

"Let thy friends, wherever thy books are sold, send this book to the principal person of the Jews, in the place where they reside; and let the Jews assemble themselves together, and weigh it with attention, and pass their judgment on it; and let them give in their answer, in person, to thy friend who shall have sent the book, that thy friend may write down their answer for thee; for no letters must be sent to thee from any one, but thy friends; for if that were granted, impostors would write, and all manner of letters would be sent.

"If the Jews are convinced from this book, if a Child is born, as mentioned in the book, that they receive him as their Prince; then they will have further directions from the friends who send them the book; and when the Child is born, it is those friends that will make it known to them. So they must not trust to any one, but the persons that send the book, and they will let them see thy likeness."
