She had such a desire that ⟨image 123⟩she said with saint Paul. Cupio dissolui et esse cum christo. I desyre to be rid, and to be with Christ. The word of God had so wrought in her. When she was brought to punishment, she desired to confess her fault, she toke of her death, that she was guiltless in that thing she suffered for, and her neighbours would have borne her witness in the same. She was always an honest civil woman, her neighbours would have gone on her purgation a great way
