can_v make_v good_a servant_n who_o be_v not_o make_v to_o serve_v god_n as_o well_o as_o do_v their_o master_n business_n and_o thus_o this_o excellent_a person_n be_v both_o at_o home_n and_o

enough_o to_o observe_v the_o noble_a exercise_n of_o never_o patience_n and_o other_o christian_a virtue_n under_o the_o tedious_a discipline_n of_o almost_o twelve_o month_n pain_n and_o sickness_n yet_o by_o no_o mean_n can_v i_o pretend_v a_o capacity_n now_o to_o relate_v what_o i_o can_v only_o see_v and_o admire_v then_o it_o be_v true_a indeed_o be_v she_o always_o thus_o exact_o live_v the_o life_n of_o the_o righteous_a it_o will_v easy_o be_v believe_v that_o she_o die_v no_o otherwise_o than_o she_o live_v but_o then_o who_o be_v it_o that_o will_v attempt_v a_o particular_a

however_o upon_o the_o whole_a it_o may_v be_v say_v that_o almost_o from_o the_o first_o approach_n of_o her_o illness_n she_o have_v within_o herself_o such_o apprehension_n of_o her_o change_n that_o what_o she_o do_v or_o say_v in_o this_o world_n be_v little_a else_o but_o in_o order_n to_o her_o departure_n for_o the_o next_o so_o that_o after_o have_v prudent_o dispose_v all_o her_o temporal_a affair_n and_o pious_o resign_v herself_o to_o the_o will_n of_o heaven_n though_o from_o the_o frequent_a interval_n of_o a_o seem_a betterness_n her_o physician_n talk_v often_o of_o the_o hope_n of_o a_o recovery_n yet_o will_v she_o by_o no_o mean_n put_v any_o confidence_n in_o man_n but_o go_v still_o on_o with_o her_o preparation_n for_o death_n as_o one_o resolve_v upon_o nothing_o more_o than_o to_o live_v so_o as_o always_o to_o be_v fit_a to_o die_v not_o can_v her_o strict_a chamber-confinement_a with_o the_o grow_a encroachment_n of_o her_o disease_n and_o

prayer_n of_o the_o church_n and_o much_o often_o out_o of_o other_o proper_a help_n of_o devotion_n whilst_o the_o chief_a refreshment_n of_o her_o soul_n and_o body_n be_v still_o receive_v by_o she_o every_o month_n and_o sometime_o often_o from_o the_o administration_n of_o the_o ever_o bless_a sacrament_n and_o when_o from_o keep_v her_o room_n she_o be_v reduce_v to_o keep_v her_o bed_n the_o same_o devotional_a course_n be_v exact_o continue_v as_o before_o so_o that_o in_o this_o religious_a order_n do_v all_o thing_n fit_a to_o be_v do_v the_o happy_a reflection_n arise_v from_o hence_o where_o no_o doubt_n what_o enable_v her_o ladyship_n to_o maintain_v such_o evenness_n of_o temper_n such_o calmness_n and_o patience_n under_o the_o severe_a trial_n of_o it_o nothing_o

insomuch_o that_o she_o may_v be_v say_v indeed_o to_o undergo_v her_o extreme_a pain_n and_o agony_n with_o much_o more_o patience_n and_o temper_n than_o can_v her_o relation_n and_o other_o that_o
