Oh lord, what a wonderful thing is this, this horror of death is worse than death it self, more ⟨p. 93⟩He prayeth now the third time. He did it so instantly, so fervently, that it brought out a bloody sweat, & such plenty that it dropped down even to the ground. There issued out of his precious body drops of blood.
