I found this original manuscript apparently written by Rev. Samuel Monett and dated 1800 in a box of very old family papers when searching for genealogy materials. I have speculated (with no proof whatsoever) that perhaps the young woman with whom he absconded to Georgia was a member of my family or a friend of my family(?). Would make a good story, but it is pure speculation. Document is written in a very beautiful hand and the signature is easily deciphered "Samuel Monett" with a great flourish underneath. It is a handsome document. (I have forwarded several photocopies of the original manuscript to Roland Monette, who has extensive postings to the Monette board). If anyone knows of a connection between the Samuel Monett(e) line and my lines (Wolfe/Wolff, Pledger, Jones, Brown, etc. of North Carolina), please contact me as I would love to have a clue as to why we might have this document. I do not know of any connection between Rev. Samuel Monett and my family and don't know why this manuscript is in our things, but I have transcribed it here.
When man was fallen far from God
Exposed to condemnation
the Lord of Glory interposed
and purchased our Salvation.
He laid his richest glory by
and groveled in the garden
Twas love divine did him incline
to purchase for us pardon.
None could atone but Him alone
his Father's wrath diminish
To make us Kings and Priests to God
Jesus hath cryed, 'tis finished.
The work of Man's redemption wrought
A sacrafice accepted
Now man may live for Christ hath died
His pardon's now contracted.
Come Lord and bring us to the pool
Twas opened for uncleanness
and bid us step in and be made whole
and cry no more our leanness.
To bring ____ on earth he came
O burn my vile desires
And then my mind will be inclined
To join celestial choirs.
Like Moses' bush then may we burn
Without receiving harm
That when Thou dost to earth return
To sound the Great Alarm.
Then may our souls with Thee arise
Whatever may oppose us
With angels mount above the skies
And sing the song of Moses.
So be it Lord thy will be done
Appear and be victorious
The Spirit now and Bride saith come
And make us with the Glorious.
So shall we walk with thee in glory white
And cast our crowns before thee
With Abraham sing our Glorious King
And evermore adore him.
Finis.
Samuel Monett
Sing with the spirit and with understanding
When this you see Remember me
Though many miles we distant be.
1800
