she was married to Bernard Valdaura at that time above forty four years of age The first night after her marriage she found that her Husbhnd's Thighs were rolled and wrapped with Clouts and that he was a man very Sore and sickly For all which she loved him not a whit the less Not long after Valdaura fell so Sick that all the Physitians despaired of his Life then did she so attend upon him that in six Weeks space she put not off her Cloaths only for shift nor rested above an hour or two at the most in the Night and that in her Cloaths This disease was a venomous Relique of the Pox and the Physicians counselled Clara not to touch the Sick man or come near him and so also did her Kindred and Neighbours All which moved her not but having taken order for that which concerned the benefit of his Soul she provided him all things which might tend to the health of his Body She made him Broths and Julips she changed his Sheets and clouts although by reason of a continual looseness and many Sores about him his Body never left running with Matter and Filth so that he ne're had any clean part about him All the day she rested not the strength of her Love supporting the delicacy of her Body by this good means Valdaura escaped that danger After this by reason of a sharp hot Rheum falling from his Brain the Gristle within his Nose began to be eaten away wherefore the Physicians appointed a certain Powder to be blown up softly into his Nose at certain times with a Quill No Body could be found to take such a loathsome service in hand because of the stench that came from him but Clara did it cheerfully and when his cheeks and chin were all covered over with Scabs Wheals and Scales so as no Barber could or would shave him she with her her little Scissers play'd the Barber and made him a deft Beard From this sickness he fell into another which lasted seven years during which time with incredible diligence she made ready his meat put in his tents laid on his plaisters dressed and bound up his thighs all rotten with Scabs and Ulcers his breath was such that none durst come near by ten paces and abide by it which yet she protested was sweet to her This long sickness and the nourishing and medicining of a Body oppressed by so many Diseases was a great matter in a house that had no Rents or profits coming in and where Trade had ceased of a long time and consequently the gain she therefore to furnish the expences sold her precious Jewels her gold Chains her rich Carcanets her Garments of great value a Cupboard of Plate not caring for any thing so her Husband was relieved and contenting her self with little so he wanted nothing Thus Valdaura lingred on a Life by the help of his Wife within a rotten Body or rather within a Grave for twenty years together in which time she had eight Children by him yet neither she nor they had so much as a Scab Wheal or Pimple in any part of their Bodies Valdaura died an old man for whose death his Wife Clara made such mourning as they who knew her well say never Woman did for any Husband When some instead of comforting her told her God had done much in taking him away and that they therefore came to congratulate with her she detested their Speeches wishing for her Husband again in exchange of five Children and though she was yet both young and lusty and sought to by many she resolved not to marry saying she could never meet with any whom she could like so well as her dear Bernard Valdaura I think in this place it will not be unseasonable to speak of the Reverence and Piety of some Children to their Parents CXV Sir Thomas Moor being Lord Chancellor of England at the same time that his Father was a Judge of the King's Bench he would always at his going to Westminster go first to the King's Bench and ask his Father Blessing before he went to sit in the Chancery CXVI There happened in Sicily as it hath often an Eruption of Aetna now called Mount Gibel it murmurs burns belches up Flames and throws out it 's fiery Entrails making all the World to fly from it It happened then that in this violent and horrible breach of Flames every one flying and carrying away what they had most precious with them two Sons the one called Anagias the other Amphinomus careful of the Wealth and Goods of their Houses reflected on their Father and Mother both very old who could not save themselves from the fire by flight And where shall we said they find a more precious Treasure than those who begat us The one took up his Father on his Shoulders the other his Mother and so made passage through the Flames It is an admirable thing that God in consideration of this Piety though Pagans did a Miracle for the Monuments of all Antiquity witness that the devouring Flames staid at this Spectacle and the Fire wasting and broiling all about them the way only through which these two good Sons passed was tapistried with fresh Verdure and called afterwards by Posterity the Field of the Pious in memory of this Accident CXVII There were three Brothers who upon the Death of the King their Father fell out amongst themselves about Succession in the Kingdom at last they agreed to stand to the Judgment and Determination of a neighbour King to whom they fully referred the matter He therefore commanded the dead Body of the Father to be fetched out of his Monument and ordered that each of them should shoot an Arrow at his Heart and he that hit it or came the nearest to it should succeed The Elder shot first and his Arrow passed through the Throat of his Father The second Brother shot his Father into the Breast but yet missed his Heart The Youngest detesting this Wickedness I had rather said he yield to all my Brothers and utterly resign up all my Pretences to the Kingdom than to treat the Body of my Father with this Contumely This Saying of his considered the King passed Sentence that he alone was worthy of the Kingdom as having given evidence how much he excelled his Brothers in Virtue by the Piety he had shewed to the dead Body of his Father CXVIII The Pretor had sentenced to death a Woman of good Birth for a Capital Crime and had consign'd her over to the Triumvir to be kill'd in Prison the Jaylor that received her mov'd with compassion did not presently strangle her but besides permitted her Daughter for to come often to her though first diligently searched lest she should convey in any Sustenance to her the Jaylor expecting that she should dye of Famine When therefore divers dayes had passed wondring within himself what it might be that occasioned her to live so long he one day set himself to observe her Daughter
