always kept her matters quite to her ^self speaking of
them to no one exept ye sr Whohad ye Care of ye
oconomy, by which means she lost that right enjoy-

in ~~Sickness~~ health as in Sickness? then said she

nobody knows what I feel & ye grife I have
concorneing my Br When I see the Steps, he has

had been in ye Congrefation, what love and
faithfullness he had shewn to her, in perticuler

Spouse, which she again enjoid on ye 10th of

of all means paysable, as he hath always done for
this several years past, she for a little Wife
found Ease, but her Disorder being of such a
Nature that all Mean which Coud be found proved inafectual
She then Satisfied her self as much as possable, but
