Description: Biographical memoir of Brother James Wyring, an agricultural laborer (husbandman) originally raised in the Presbyterian Church. The text notes a lifelong physical lameness caused by an early injury from a cow. It details his marriage in Bradford in 1711, his subsequent spiritual awakening in Yorkshire upon hearing Moravian preaching, and his formal reception into the Moravian Society at Holme in 1743. The account highlights his immense dedication to traveling to congregational meetings at Fulneck despite his physical infirmity and advanced age. The record concludes with a description of his final illness (ague) and death under the spiritual care of Brother Hauptmann in March 1764.
