skilful_a in_o cure_v scald_v head_n and_o she_o persuade_v i_o to_o go_v to_o the_o hospital_n but_o i_o find_v a_o reluctancy_n in_o myself_o thereto_o have_v a_o persuasion_n in_o my_o mind_n from_o the_o time_n that_o mr._n forty_o tell_v i_o it_o be_v incurable_a that_o jesus_n christ_n will_v cure_v it_o nevertheless_o consider_v that_o passage_n of_o the_o woman_n that_o have_v the_o

hospital_n may_v not_o hinder_v christ_n cure_v i_o thereupon_o i_o be_v satisfy_v in_o myself_o to_o go_v and_o when_o i_o present_v myself_o to_o the_o physician_n and_o surgeon_n they_o tell_v i_o it_o be_v a_o leprosy_n and_o ask_v i_o what_o i_o desire_v of_o they_o i_o desire_v to_o be_v a_o out-patient_a and_o they_o prescribe_v i_o some_o thing_n but_o i_o have_v no_o faith_n in_o the_o

who_o give_v out_o the_o medicine_n see_v my_o distemper_n tell_v i_o it_o be_v in_o vain_a to_o spend_v my_o time_n in_o attend_v any_o further_a on_o they_o for_o it_o be_v a_o leprosy_n and_o can_v not_o be_v cure_v not_o long_o after_o this_o i_o be_v send_v by_o a_o friend_n of_o i_o on_o her_o own_o account_n to_o dr._n bourne_n and_o i_o take_v that_o opportunity_n to_o show_v he_o my_o distemper_n and_o when_o he_o see_v it_o he_o lift_v up_o his_o hand_n say_v good_a lord_n have_v mercy_n upon_o thou_o it_o be_v a_o leprosy_n he_o likewise_o tell_v i_o there_o may_v be_v something_o give_v to_o curb_v it_o but_o not_o to_o cure_v it_o if_o i_o have_v wherewithal_o to_o defray_v the_o charge_n i_o tell_v he_o i_o be_v a_o poor_a widow_n and_o so_o concern_v myself_o no_o more_o with_o he_o i_o go_v away_o from_o he_o full_a of_o comfort_n have_v this_o persuasion_n that_o jesus_n christ_n will_v be_v my_o physician_n and_o will_v cure_v i_o after_o this_o i_o be_v send_v by_o the_o same_o friend_n and_o on_o her_o own_o account_n to_o dr._n clarke_n and_o take_v that_o opportunity_n to_o discover_v my_o case_n to_o he_o who_o know_v i_o sympathize_v with_o i_o say_v alas_o poor_a woman_n it_o be_v a_o leprosy_n i_o ask_v he_o whether_o it_o can_v be_v cure_v he_o tell_v i_o that_o something_o may_v be_v give_v to_o check_v it_o but_o not_o to_o cure_v it_o and_o that_o if_o i_o will_v go_v to_o mr._n humes_n a_o apothecary_n he_o will_v give_v direction_n to_o he_o and_o will_v do_v what_o he_o can_v for_o i_o but_o have_v no_o hope_n of_o cure_n from_o any_o humane_a mean_n i_o concern_v myself_o no_o further_o with_o he_o in_o this_o matter_n one_o reason_n why_o i_o have_v no_o expectation_n of_o cure_n from_o man_n be_v the_o occur_v of_o that_o scripture_n frequent_o to_o my_o mind_n mat._n 8._o 2._o lord_n if_o thou_o will_v thou_o can_v make_v i_o clean_o this_o i_o be_v enable_v to_o plead_v before_o he_o with_o some_o degree_n

when_o i_o have_v discourse_v with_o he_o concern_v my_o friend_n i_o ask_v he_o what_o he_o think_v of_o my_o distemper_n who_o answer_v alas_o poor_a woman_n how_o come_v you_o by_o this_o surfeit_n i_o ask_v he_o what_o the_o distemper_n be_v and_o he_o likewise_o tell_v i_o as_o the_o other_o have_v do_v before_o that_o it_o be_v a_o leprosy_n and_o incurable_a this_o i_o can_v true_o say_v
