profitable_a edification_n in_o the_o time_n of_o her_o sickness_n i_o hear_v she_o never_o utter_v one_o word_n that_o favour_v of_o impatience_n she_o take_v all_o help_n willing_o that_o may_v have_v restore_v she_o if_o god_n have_v give_v the_o blessing_n to_o health_n and_o her_o former_a condition_n and_o in_o the_o receipt_n she_o will_v pray_v and_o desire_v other_o also_o that_o
