there_o be_v four_o request_n which_o we_o observe_v she_o especial_o prefer_v unto_o god_n in_o her_o sickness_n all_o and_o in_o none_o of_o they_o be_v deny_v the_o first_o that_o she_o may_v be_v

grace_n in_o she_o for_o say_v she_o be_v i_o the_o lord_n why_o shall_v not_o i_o lift_v up_o my_o head_n now_o see_v the_o time_n of_o my_o dissolution_n draw_v on_o so_o near_o but_o these_o complaint_n continue_v not_o above_o six_o hour_n but_o she_o have_v much_o cheerfulness_n and_o comfort_n again_o which_o she_o express_v both_o in_o earnest_n and_o excellent_a prayer_n wherein_o

together_o now_o he_o will_v not_o suffer_v he_o to_o rest_v on_o she_o with_o his_o malice_n above_o six_o hour_n her_o second_o request_n be_v that_o the_o lord_n will_v strengthen_v she_o with_o patience_n to_o endure_v all_o her_o pain_n to_o the_o end_n and_o herein_o she_o be_v as_o gracious_o hear_v as_o in_o the_o former_a for_o although_o she_o be_v full_a of_o pain_n and_o assault_v
