a_o person_n of_o good_a credit_n who_o hear_v she_o tell_v it_o she_o have_v a_o dream_n that_o a_o angel_n come_v to_o she_o and_o tell_v she_o she_o must_v sudden_o die_v whereat_o she_o be_v

〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d every_o dream_n come_v from_o god_n whereas_o the_o devil_n many_o time_n be_v the_o author_n of_o they_o a_o wicked_a man_n may_v dream_v he_o shall_v go_v to_o heaven_n caesar_z

dream_v we_o may_v instance_n in_o many_o more_o if_o it_o need_v for_o my_o part_n i_o believe_v this_o dream_n of_o this_o holy_a lady_n be_v a_o favour_n extraordinary_a from_o god_n to_o such_o a_o precious_a young_a saint_n and_o i_o the_o rather_o think_v so_o because_o it_o so_o fall_v out_o as_o she_o have_v dream_v for_o soon_o after_o this_o she_o unexpected_o fall_v sick_a of_o a_o

she_o groan_v yet_o she_o do_v not_o murmur_n or_o repine_v but_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o those_o pang_n she_o still_o lift_v up_o her_o hand_n and_o eye_n to_o the_o god_n of_o her_o salvation_n that_o time_n of_o ease_n god_n give_v she_o between_o her_o fit_n she_o be_v careful_a to_o redeem_v by_o prayer_n and_o other_o holy_a exercise_n with_o her_o chaplain_n who_o she_o high_o prize_v
