When our saviour was going amongest this great multitude to Jairus house: there cometh a woman thorough the people, desirous to touch his garment. The Evangelist1 Mark setteth out this story more plainly, than Matthew doth, he […]: There was a certain woman which had bene disea sed of an issue. 12 years, and had suffered many things, of many physicians: and […] spent all that she had, and felt no amendment at all: but rather was worse and worse. When she had heard of Jesus, she came in the press of the people: ⟨image 108⟩behind him, and touched his garment: for she said, if I only may touch yt […] of his clothes, I shall be whole.
