Will Jesus Christ (said he) apply his blood to me, that have shed my own blood? I told him, Christ shed his blood even for them that with wicked hands had shed the blood of Christ; and that was a sin of deeper guilt than his. Well, (said he) I will cast my self upon Christ; let him do by me what he will. And so I parted with him that night.
Next morning the wounds were to be opened; and then, the opinion of the Chirurgeons was, he would immediately expire.
Accordingly, at his desire, I came that morning and found him in a most serious frame. I prayed with him, and then the wound in his stomach was opened, but by this time the Ventricle it self was swoln out of the orifice of the wound, and lay like a livid discoloured Tripe upon his body, and was also cut through; so that all concluded, it was impossible for him to live; however they stitched the wound in the stomach, enlarged th• Orifice, and fomented it, and wrought it again into his body, and so stitching up the skin, left him to the dispose of Providence.
